Amazing Dry Brined Roast Turkey

Amazing Dry Brined Roast Turkey

Dry brining a turkey produces the juiciest, most flavorful roast turkey ever. It’s also the easiest technique I’ve ever used!

I’ve made roast turkey at least 15 times in my life. I know that might not qualify me as a turkey roasting expert, but I am definitely an expert in turkey experimentation.

I used to try different recipes and techniques every Thanksgiving, always searching for the “holy grail” recipe that would have everyone oohing and aahing over my turkey roasting prowess.

I’ve basted. I’ve injected. I’ve stuffed. I’ve rubbed. I’ve marinated. I’ve massaged. I’ve brined.
