Turkey Day Adventures and Recipes from Amy Lucille’s Archives
I won’t be making my turkey till later this weekend, or maybe even the following week. This year we are heading over to my future in-laws for a Thanksgiving feast on both Thursday and Friday. So I am thinking I won’t get around to doing our turkey day till January as we might be on turkey overload by the end of this weekend. I love to make my own because I get to keep the carcass and make stock.

I love cranberry sauce on my turkey! Who doesn’t say or think that when its the holiday season? Yes, I know – many of you are used to the good ol slide the chunk out of the can – but I never really liked that, it was too jellyish. So here’s what I’ve come up with to fill that cranberry desire, and elevate it so much more!

Turkey Brine
It’s that time, it’s Thanksgiving – and what better to cook up than a big, juicy turkey! Now you probably already know how to make a turkey (if not, I’ll be posting one soon), but I believe that you should ALWAYS brine your turkey. It makes for a little bit more of a mess, and a little more planning, but the end result is so much juicier and succulent than you could imagine!
So for the turkey I decided to brine it for about 16 hours, and then bake it filled with aromatics. The brine is so worth it, my turkey came out so juicy. I highly recommend everyone trying this at least once.
