Do not brine a turkey that has been injected with a brine already or a self-basting turkey as this type of turkey would already have salt added to the turkey. The salt will be eliminated when you discard the brine and rinse the turkey prior to roasting it. The purpose of the brine is to have a moist turkey when roasting it. Also ensure that you cover the turkey when roasting it to hold in the moisture . Remove the cover when you are ready for the turkey to brown. It is really a delicious way to prepare this! Hope you give it a try!

I know at least one of my little pups would try and make it theirs, too {perhaps not up on the table though - but right out of the storage box!} LOL!!<br /><br />I've never had a brined turkey, but it sounds delicious. I found a recipe for Oven Roasted Turkey with Sage Butter, by Tyler Florence from the Food Network a while back and have used every time I roast a turkey! It's so tasty. Here's a link to the Recipe on my Blog: {http://thecomfortofasafeplace.blogspot.com/2013/10/thanksgiving.html}<br /><br />JanJan Hermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388252906826385107noreply@blogger.com
