TURKEY BRINING



Some of the recipes for THE BEST THANKSGIVING EVER came from
this month's issue of Saveur magazine (Issue #106, November 2007).

The turkey is being brined overnight in a solution of kosher salt, brown sugar, apple cider, garlic (35 cloves!), ancho chile, and blended Granny Smith apples. We topped up the solution with Santa Rosa Aquifer well water.
The Saveur recipe called for a brining bag but when we went to the store we discovered that brining bags were $7.99 each. We decided to use a turkey roasting bag at 2 for $2.29. We save the Earth and save money. Way to go, Reynolds!
