Brining a frozen turkey?
I appreciate all the words of wisdom and opinions. I will not be in a hurry and will plan to thaw the bird for a couple of days in the fridge and brine for 24 hours. Thanks for the links guys. I have never been a fan of thawing in water, but when I have, I cooked the meat or seafood in short... -
