I had a recipe from my Food Network Magazine from Alton Brown that was for a turkey brine you do in a 5 gallon bucket. Unfortunately, he instructs for that brine to be made a couple days in advance. I couldn't do that so I used the link below. It was yummy. All ingredients I had in my kitchen too! I brushed the turkey with canola oil (as opposed to vegetable oil) because that's what Alton's recipe said to do. Anyway, I have NEVER had such moist white meat EVER. This was super easy. I just followed the roasting instructions that came with the turkey as the recipe below just says to roast it however...I need more details than that! We managed and wow, I have a new favorite way to roast turkeys (brine 'em in a bucket before!)
The turkey in the picture looks a little red? Mine didn't look red like that at all. Just beautiful, golden brown. Yum.
