Fake Thanksgiving is a great time to try a new brine. Apple cider vinegar and brown sugar adds a great southern kick to a turkey roast. And what is Fake Thanksgiving? It's a floating fake holiday that usually lands sometime in Autumn, and is a great reason to roast a turkey for family and friends.
Thaw your turkey in the fridge. Put turkey in brine - submerge completely under brine. Some use a big bag, some use a big pot. Brine turkey in the fridge. Adjust brine time to size of turkey, 6 to 12 hours. Remove from brine, drain turkey. Now roast!
Music for Southern style brine and turkey roast should include Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top and Molly Hatchet.
