To Brine or Not to Brine

Notes from Chef Tyler

To brine or not to brine is the question many home cooks ponder for their turkey preparation. I can tell you that it helps in the moistness of the turkey but brine isn’t your only option. I recommend the combination of good herbs, lots of spice and a good old fashioned bacon wrap. Blanket that turkey with the love of bacon. Many recipes are on the internet and in cook books. The options to choose from will blow your mind. Just make it your own, you can’t get good at something if you make it one time a year. So try a few different ones on a smaller turkey when there is no pressure on you. Best of luck! Cheers! Chef Tyler!.
