yea. brine it but just use a basic brine.

(and dont tell nobody.

dunk the bird!

here is the basic ratio
2 1/2 gallons of liquid
1lbs salt
1lbs sweet.

for the liquid stick with 1 gallon of H2O and 8lbs of ice, then for the other half gallon, you can use orange juice, stock of some kind or just more water.
heat the gallon of H2O and the other half gallon and use to disolve the sugar and salt. then use the 8lbs of ice to cool the liquid.


for the salt use kosher period.
for the sweet, you can use sugar, brownsugar, mape syrup, cane syrup, honey, or any other kind of sweet. you are just looking for 1lbs.

My SIL told me to fix my turkey in my roaster to rub it good with butter inside and out. Then salt and pepper. Add an onion quartered and an apple quartered. Wrap in foil and cook all night.

It was very tender the next morning. Falling apart. Tasted excellent!
