"The absolute BEST turkey I have ever had! Last Thanksgiving was my first time ever cooking a turkey so I came to this website just to make sure I had cooking temp and time as accurate as possible when I came across this recipe. Brining seemed a bit complicated and a lot of extra work for a first-timer but after reading the reviews I thought what the heck. So I brined my turkey over night and all I can say is WOW! This is now officially my permanent turkey recipe! I cant wait to make it again this year! :)
