Recipe Review
wester from Soesterberg, Utr
Together with Barbara Kafka's high-temperature roasting this made an amazing turkey - succulent meat, brown crispy skin, and very tasty throughout.
If you can find enough room in the fridge (or another sufficienly cool but not quite freezing place) for a week, and if you can start a week before roasting, you must try this with your next turkey.
We used a baby turkey (6 pounds) and brined it for 4 days.
The amount of brine given in the recipe is not enough to brine even such a small turkey, we needed three times that amount. Better to see it as a ratio.
