We were invited over to our friend’s house for Thanksgiving, kind of at the last moment. Susan and I had planned on a quiet Thanksgiving here at home. Since there was no pressure to present a perfect meal, I decided I wanted to try and barbecue the bird using the charcoal snake method.
That has now been moved to Saturday. Right now, I am boiling up a brine solution to soak the turkey in. I’m going to go for about a 16 hour soak.
The brine solution is a mixture of apple juice, kosher salt, brown sugar, garlic, pepper corns, bay leaves, rosemary, orange peels and water.
It’s been sitting on the stove for a while now and almost to a boil. Then it has to cool before I put the turkey in it.
Yesterday’s Thanksgiving meal at Randy and Karen’s was great. So great, I gained three pounds. There were two pies, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and lots of stuffing…mostly me.
