| Brining Turkey - Step by Step
Brining a turkey is a simple process, but you need to start a day before you plan to cook. A whole turkey can take up to 24 hours to properly brine depending on the size so plan ahead. Brining makes the most of a turkey. It adds moisture to the meat and makes it more tender. Throw in some herbs and spices and you get a lot more flavor as well. All you really need to brine a turkey is the bird and some salt and water. Step one is determining how much water you need.
| New Review: Butterball Oil-Free Electric Turkey Fryer
Since deep frying a turkey in hot oil has developed a reputation for being dangerous (and delicious) a few people have been thinking of ways of doing it with out the oil. The solution is to create an enclosed chamber, heated from the outside, to roast a turkey at high temperatures. This is one of these cookers. This "fryer" is basically a small, electric oven that cooks a turkey at around 10 minutes a pound (two hours for a 12 pound turkey). While it can do that, it really can't reproduce the flavor of a real deep fried turkey. You can add wood chips to get a little smoke flavor however.
