Default Is anyone going to brine their turkey?

Child one arrives with the magazine from American Airlines clutched in her paw and on the back there is a recipe for brining the turkey. (Advertisement for Kikkoman)


Seems you immerse the bird for about eight hours in " two gallons of cold water in a large stock pot or your fridge vegetable drawer along with 1/2 cup kosher salt, 2 tbsp sage, 1 tbsp. thyme, 10 oz soy sauce, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tbsp. dried celery seed."


Then you drain and cook the bird the way you always do. Supposed to make it really delish.


sigh. Open to be convinced...but skeptical.
