I don't brine. Most all frozen turkey nowadays are already injected
with saline solution and I don't like turkey enough to pay the price
of fresh killed, nor would I buy fresh killed and then turn it into
common turkey by brining. I stuff my face with turkey on Thankgiving
day, after the cats get their fill the frame and whatever is left on
it gets tossed in my yard for the critters, but I save the second leg
and the neck for me for the next day. When I season a turkey most
seasoning goes into the cavity; chopped carrot, celery, parsley, and
apple. The outside gets rubbed with fresh lemon, the rinds go inside.
Then black pepper everywhere, and a dusting of paprika for color.
Along with the turkey I'll bake eight yams in jackets, eight because
they were all small this year and we like yams and in jackets they
reheat well in the nuker. However mostly we gorge on kasha
varnishkas, I prepare two boxes of Wolff's whole granulation, with
lots of 'shrooms and celery... that's instead of stuffing/dressing, we
despise that bready crapola. I bought two 12 oz containers of 'shooms
this morning, very nice celery was on sale 88ยข so I bought two, won't
waste as I like it in my oriental soups. I have two more boxes of
Wolff's to prepare again before winter is over... I love kasha but one
needs to know how to prepare it properly, with an egg soak. The kasha
is brought up from NYC, the hillbillys here don't know kasha, which is
strange as NY's Finger Lakes region is the buckwheat capitol of the
US. I got to like kasha as my paternal grandmother being from Riga
would make it very often, a very popular dish in the Baltics, Russia
is the buckwheat capitol of the world. Buckwheat groats is not a
grain, it's a berry, extremely nutritious, contains the highest
percentage and most perfect protein of any vegetable, almost equal to
animal protein, missing only one of the 23 amino acids. Buckwheat is
also high in fiber, guaranteed to cure constipation, much better than
prunes and tastier.
