MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Having finally submitted to having all my in-laws for Xmas dinner I have just started soaking an 18 pound turkey in a Nigella concoction; has anyone else done this to a turkey and did it make a massive difference?
It would appear not
I do it to chicken (a la Heston), so would definitely do it to turkey too, as it a notoriously easy to dry the turkey out?
MIL has the turkey, so not sure we'll hav chance to do it to ours though
Yes, have brine a la Nigella a couple of times, ours was put on to brine this morning in a brewing bucket.
Nope - deep frying instead http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/video/2011/nov/23/how-to-deep-fry-turkey
Brining the turkey via Heston's idiot proof pre made recipe?
I only read the instructions today which suggests a 24hour period for brining the bird.
thought 'brining the bird' was a euphemism..
dunno what it is but if nigella's going to be there, i'm up for it! 🙂
^^ made me laugh 😉
