This year, try a new way to prepare your holiday turkey with a brine. Not sure what a brine is or how it could help your turkey? A brine is a mixture of salt and water. Every recipe is a little different and is played with to suit your taste buds by adding seasonings, sweetener, etc. Soaking a turkey in brine before roasting creates a super moist turkey and infuses flavor (based on seasonings you’ve added). So, if you’re afraid of a dry turkey, brining it is a great way to prevent that. If you want to try brining, here are 5 turkey brines for Thanksgiving to amp the flavor of your turkey.
