Brined Turkey Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Turkey Recipes. (Brined Turkey Recipe). I love a brined turkey. When you think about cooking any poultry for more than two hours, you definitely want a bird that was packed in a saline solution or brined yourself. Never again will you have a dry turkey. The osmosis will make your bird tender and juicy. This recipe is good for turkeys between 12 and 22 pounds. Roast as desired.
