Do you brine your turkey?
Would you please share your recipe? . No oranges /satsumas etc as DD is allergic to those orange fruits.
Many Thanks

Waitrose used to (my still) do a Heston turkey with a brine kit, so there�s likely a Heston recipe around
(We don�t, just butter and bacon on our crown!)

We do but we use Nigella�s method which does have citrus

Thanks for the info. My FB friends use Nigella so think I will go for that minus the orange. Fingers crossedx

We had turkey here in Florida at thanksgiving Shelly used Martha Stewart's brine then what my mum did butter under the skin on the baked one and the deep fried one the brine which was well dried
Both were so moist she did say she'd never done thebrine and butter under the
Skin but would defiantly be doing this in the future and I will brine mine for Christmas
Have already bough a mahossive packet of Zip lock bags that she uses ( they make great packing cubes too handy to pack stuff in so it doesn't get soaked in the case if it's on the runway at MCO in a thunder storm )

Thanks for that . I am going to go with Martha as I don't need to omit any ingredients due to allergies.
