Oh goodie ... I'm dreamin' of a White Christmas (feast)

OK, I need help here ... never brined a friggin' bird in me life ... Wife don't cook, so I need to decide "Do I or Don't I" brine the christmas turkey this year.

I bought a frozen gobbler (mistake#1) and it's seen better days ... thawing might be a while

Any brining tips / techniques will be greatly appreciated
ie. What's required, seasoning etc

If you also have stuffing and fixin's recipes you would like to share, I'd sure like to hear from you.

I don't know about you but I'm droolin' already

Thanks in advance Gofishers ... gobble gobble!

only one comment: might be better to wait and experiment AFTER christmas. Stick with tradition for your Christmas meal (assuming you enjoy what you've been doing) and grab a turkey when then come on sale to try a new recipe.

I’ve brined a couple of birds in the past. When I get home tonight I’ll post the recipe I have in my files. Mike has a point you might want to wait.

Here is the Brine I used
12c of water
½ c of sea salt
½ c honey or sugar

½ c soy sauce
1 Tsp of dried Tarragon & Thyme & Black pepper

Brine over night 12 hours or more in fridge.
