Hmmm…very very tasty Turkey even all the way to the bone. The gravy and the salsa made it absolutely fantastic! This is the best and the first among the 3 Thanksgiving Turkeys we're having this year!

I am firmly of the "no brine ever" school, along with Mr. McGee, who stated that you are replacing the bird's natural juices with salt water. And my go-to, semi-legendary turkey recipe is roast turkey with herb crust and shiitake mushroom gravy (recipe link below). And I have never had to give special treatment to the breasts; I've never cooked a dry turkey in my life.

hmmn , that gravy does sound good. It'll especially go well with a soy-garlic marinated turkey since shitake gives it an Asian flair too.

I am impressed! A gorgous turkey, and it's still a week until Thanksgiving! Last year I used the high-heat method which is having a resurgence. The turkey was a beautiful copper color, but there was a bit of a smoke cloud over the dinner table!

How odd... I have never heard of this brining of turkey business. Must not be something that's widespread here in England, and obviously we don't have Thanksgiving to cook a turkey for - so at Christmas, Mum butters the turkey, lays bacon over the breast, puts stuffing into the cavity and roasts it like that.

Yum!

I've heard about putting bacon on the Turkey breast, I think I'll try that next.

I got your link through Serious Eats on the article about PH's class that you had an opportunity to partake in! Lucky you!! I think you are obsessed with macarons just as I am. When I was in Paris last month, I had a (google mapped) macaron trail of most of the macaron shops there! Everyday I was there, I stuffed myself with macarons from at least 3 different shops!
