Ed Pawlowski– I brined my first turkey this Thanksgiving-day (1997). It was better than any turkey I’ve ever done. This is one of the easiest ways of improving a turkey I’ve encountered and will not cook a turkey without brining, ever again. ============== Belly– First time for me too. Best-tasting turkey that I ever cooked. I did one each way, (with and without brining) and the brining made a world of difference. An old dog learned a new trick today. ============== Thomas Street– I smoked 2 turkey breasts for the big day. Brined one and just rubbed the other with spices. No doubt whatsoever. The rubbed bird was nice and tasty, but the brined one just exploded the old taste buds–much more moist and flavorful.
