Juiciest Turkey Recipe
With Thanksgiving just a few short weeks away, this week’s Sunday Supper comes from FinaMill’s sister company, Liquid Solution. The secret to cooking the juiciest, full-flavor turkey is to brine it in an easy-to-use, disposable, Liquid Solution brining bag. Brining is a process where the turkey soaks, overnight, in a salt solution. This adds incredible moisture. Then to enhance the flavor, just add herbs and spices to the liquid. The result will be a moist, delicious turkey each and every time. The disposable bag makes clean up a snap.
We want to extend best wishes to our FinaMill friends for a wonderful Thanksgiving. Enjoy!
