Brining a turkey by Grizzled Adams

Brining my turkey, to big to put in the fridge, its supposed to get down to 34 degrees tonight, so turkey is hanging out in the van in the driveway, found this recipe, hopes it works.



* 1 cup salt

* 1 lemon, cut into wedges

* 1 orange, cut into wedges

* 1 medium onion, cut into wedges

* 3 cloves garlic

* 4 bay leaves

* 1 tablespoon dried thyme

* 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

* 1 1/2 gallons cold water

Rub salt onto your turkey, and place remaining salt, lemons, oranges, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme and pepper into a large pot. Place the turkey in the pot, and fill with water. Refrigerate overnight. Discard brine after removing turkey.

THERE! you'all see it! Don't throw the turkey out with the brine water!
