    I thought this was going to be a thread about how thanksgiving was shameful and the turkey was a symbol of hate, lol!

    Tuuuurkey, the wife never brines the turkey and its always moist, she cooks it in a foil tent than last thirty minutes without the tent. Although she does slather the turkey in butter just under the skin with all kinds of other goodies too. And of course stuffing cooked in the bird, yes i know it will someday probably make me incredibly ill and sick, I love stuffing cooked in the bird.

    I'm not a fan of stuffing in the Bird,,,too moist. The tent idea is great though, it works. It's a great way of tenderizing meats. It works great for Brisket, and that can be a very tough meat if not done properly

    That is what I was thinking....it all sounds easy until you take in consideration the equipment.

    I slice my turkey and let it bath in the broth...I can't stand dry turkey!! Gonna have to clear out the fridge and try the brine method sometime.
