We brined for as long as I can remember. Always used fresh, never frozen, so cost is usually more than $1.50 a pound. After 40 years of being on the road coaching kids Thanksgiving hockey Tournaments, Thanksgiving can be a challenge when taking it on the road. Now the boys are on their own quest of coaching, that left me solo for the last two thanksgivings.
Two years ago while shopping at TJ’s I found their fresh already brined turkeys. Couple of other posters also recommended them. While not cheap so worth it to have somebody else use the perfect brine, with a fresh turkey. It comes out so well I don’t think I’d ever take the time to brine another turkey again.
