    An hour later heat dropped to 250 for a couple hours, then pulled & flipped the bird:

    I failed to get any pictures of the slicing and dicing.
    But The Lady said it was the most tender and juiciest turkey she had ever had.
    I simply had to agree!! Won't be doing them any other way down the road...



    Merry Christmas Indeed!

    It took you TWLEVE years to get in on this brine thing?

    Merry Christmas, let us know how it turned out. It's a bit of an epiphany for many people.

    Haha!
    While I used to do the vast majority of the cooking in the household(in my former relationship), I never did the Turkey.

    Things have now changed .....for the better.... in every way.
