I've been lucky one or twice........

Went to my sisters house Tuesday (We had TG yesterday).
Anywho, long story short, I am a decent cook, at least most people think so.
So I am over at her house (High $$ house, she has been an RN for 25 years, go figure:cheesygrin:).

She hits me up about every little thing.
Should I?
Would you?
325 degrees, or 350?
Is this the right pan?
Does this plate look pretty?

Hell, I look to her as guidence, go figure her asking me?:redface:
So, there we are, cooking TG dinner for the entire family (some flew in from TX.).

So she plays the "Brine" card on me (Tuesday night).
Brine the Turkey!!........with apple cider, yadda, garlic, yadda.....yadda....some word I could not understand........... and pepper!

Brine?
Uuuoorrrrrgggggggggh?

Does not compute.:eek:
Brine?
Did I even spell it right in the first paragragh?

HUH?:redface:

Brine?:sad:

Killer!
Best Tukey I have ever had, I could not brag enough on it, and fell asleep mid conversation!
Just saying!

If you have never "brined" your turkey before baking, I beg you to try it!

Just excellent (12-16 hour soak).

Just on another level.:cheesygrin:
Super upgrade (no caps required!).

    Just wanted to mention, my Grandmother was there (91 yrs old), and brought 2 trips to her car to unload grandma goodness!
    2 Trips!

    And I must say, she is on top of her game!
    You could not buy pies like that, they do not exist in the real world (I am sure you have read about them in print, that said, I have a whole pecan in my fridge!)!
    Taking bids (reserve is $450.00.......:cheesygrin:).

    Paul,

    I brine the turkeys that I smoke for 24 hours or so, then cook them with charcoal/hickory smoke for about 14 hours at 220. I have not ate better turkey then a brined and smoked one. Yum. Nice job tho, a brine will make a world of difference with pork and poultry. Next time your making some chicken try a quick 40 minute salt brine, you WILL notice the difference.

    Oh, and, entitling a thread "I've been lucky once or twice" and then going right into talking about your sister, whew, that was scary. I know how you southern folk are!!! :cheesygrin::cheesygrin:

    For true inner moistness. Brineing is a must. Most people don't know. All it takes is a little time & effort.
