HOW LONG TO COOK A BRINED TURKEY BREAST RECIPES

When was the last time you truly enjoyed your holiday turkey? If it’s been a while, we suggest you give your regular recipe a rest and try out this whole turkey instead. As you might have noticed (from its 100-plus, five-star ratings), it’s been helping home cooks master succulent and tender-to-the-bone turkeys for decades now. And its success is nearly guaranteed—a bold promise, yes, but we’ll stand behind it. The reason this recipe turns out time after time is because it uses the brining technique. Brining, in this case, wet brining, involves soaking the bird in a simple solution of salt and water for an extended period of time (8 to 12 hours) prior to roasting. The soak breaks down tough muscle tissue and infuses the meat with flavor. So when we say you don’t have to suffer lackluster turkey again, it’s not a false promise, all you have to do is make this fan-favorite recipe. Our guess is that you’ll never go back to your old standard.
