Over the years I have seen recipes for brining a turkey. I have seen the process on cooking shows and talk shows, but I had never tried it myself. I am blown away at the difference it makes in how tender and flavorful the turkey comes out. Every bite of this turkey had a hint of citrus and herbs and was moist as can be. It makes me think of different combinations of herbs and seasonings to use to achieve different flavors. You do need space in your refrigerator large enough to hold a container with the brining turkey submerged inside. That may take a lot of space but the end result is worth it! Do yourself a favor and brine your turkey this year, a little extra effort will give you so much more flavor!

There are no instructions for the glaze. Is it heated? When is it put on the turkey? I’m going to try to find a similar recipe, but you might want to update yours. Thanks!
