Three days until Thanksgiving, this is a biggie. Monday: Brine the Bird and whip up a delicious batch of Make Ahead Gravy.
Dry Brined Turkey
Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Full flavor. You’ll get it all with our Dry Brine. We love this technique and especially love the results. We load up the roasting pan with aromatics, herbs and stock. The dripping from the turkey and the liquid in the pan will mean a very delicious gravy later on. Crispy skin? Juicy meat? Lots of gravy? That sounds like a very Happy Thanksgiving! If you want to learn more about other brining methods, listen to our recent Smidgen episode, Brine Time Anytime.

On turkey day, add in some drippings from the bird, and you’ll receive compliments all around. Make extra rolls – you won’t want to miss a drop!
