Have you ever ordered roast turkey when dining in a really good restaurant with a great chef? If you have, then you’ve probably wondered how they manage to keep the meat so tender and moist. Is it a secret ingredient, or perhaps some amazing piece of hugely expensive, professional cooking equipment? Actually, it’s neither. It’s all done by brining––a simple and inexpensive process of marinating the bird in a salt solution infused with aromatic herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables. Brining encourages very deep, cellular-level moisture penetration, which results in less drying out in the oven, and a moister bird on the table. This article demonstrates how to brine your turkey.
