It's still frozen solid. I'll leave it out today and put it in the refrig at night. <BR/><BR/>No wonder your stressed, I'm stressed just reading your to do list. <BR/><BR/>As for a moist Turkey, I've never brined it, have no idea what that even is. I use an old Victorian concept. I take Apple Cider, cut up apples and oranges, spice with anise, thyme, Italian seasoning, pepper, onion salt..rosemary. Might be a few more spices. It's just in my head, not a recipe per say. <BR/><BR/>I make sure the Turkey is laced up good, And I put the above mixture in the cavity of the bird, instead of stuffing. It makes the best gravy when these juices leak out of the bird. The mixture isn't something you would serve, it's only purpose is to keep the bird moist. I've NEVER had a dry Turkey doing this. It takes about an hour, hour and half more cook time, but so worth it. <BR/><BR/>That's my take on Turkey *winks* (Hugs)IndigoSage Ravenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17143502548162174269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358968333707962844.post-87771233026142981222008-11-23T22:05:00.000-05:002008-11-23T22:05:00.000-05:00Sounds like you have a hit planned!
