We're going to pick apples tomorrow in Lockport and they have farm fresh turkeys there too. Plan to pick a couple up. 90¢/lb ain't bad!

Z, I used that same brine last week for a couple of chickens that I did in the rotis on the kettle last week. It had an excellent taste and was quite moist. I'm gonna do a turkey this year the same way.

More kudos Z. Love turkey.
If you can find a beer and wine supply store, you can buy huge food grade tubs for just a few bucks. I dabble with brewing and use my big bucket for all kinds of brew and brines.

4 ounces fresh ginger, sliced thin
15 whole cloves

15 cloves of cloves! It's a spice. Look in the spice isle of your supermarket.
