Turkey marinades, or should I brine the bird again?

Turkey marinades, or should I brine the bird again? Last year, my wife & I had a guest over & we got ambitious after watching the food network show on how to prepare the thanksgiving turkey. So instead of using turkey marinades, we “brined the bird”.

Directions were pretty simple - the night before, take the turkey out of the freezer and put it into a large container filled with salt water. Also add spices & other seasonings, which is supposed to impart a great flavor. The turkey did end up tender, but it was a bit more work than just using marinade & baking as usual. What do you think? How are you going to prepare your thanksgiving turkey?

For the last 2 years I’ve been taking the easy way out. Depending on how may people you have, you may find you can get a large breast of turkey and instead of a huge roasting pan, simply bag it and cook it on a heavy rectangler pan. Even if you have to have a full turkey, you can still cook it in a bag. I was surprised at how juicy and tender a turkey is when it is cooked in an oven bag! Takes less time to cook and easy to clean up too.

Give you something to think about. :)
