Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Just wanted to take a minute to thank Chris A. and everyone else over the years who has tried and tested and tweaked the Apple Brine recipe. I did a 13lb bird this morning for a church we visit that serves the homeless population in Fairfax County, VA. By the time I arrived lunch was well underway, and I was told that they had plenty of turkey and that they'd let me know if they needed mine. So I set it in the corner of the kitchen and went to talk with some friends from the church. A few minutes later I went to check in with the kitchen staff, and they were all asking questions about my turkey-- had I smoked it? Why did it smell so incredibly good? So I carved it and started sharing it, to rave reviews.
That kitchen was literally full of turkey-- the entire oven was full of trays of it, plus most of the counter space. And in that turkey-filled landscape, the Apple Brine bird was standing out like a rock star.
Thanks again!
