Thanksgiving



Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving this year. Ours was small, but sweet. We had a wonderful feast at my parents house with just a few of us there. It was nice to relax and enjoy the yummy food. Aaron made the turkey for the dinner. He has the best Brine recipe ever! For those of you who would like to try it for Christmas or for Thanksgiving next year, here it is:

1 gallon of water
1 onion
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup kosher salt
peppercorns to liking

You put all these ingredients in a roaster, soak the turkey for 16-24 hours breast side down and then cook according to directions. We always cook it in the juice, but you can dump the juices out before cooking as well. It is divine!!!
