I plan on sterilizing one of the vegetable bin drawers in the fridge and making a brine for him to soak in a few days. I have been looking up ideas for the brine. I'm leaning toward the kosher salt, honey, vinegar and ice water of course.
Instead of using a roasting rack I will do like I did last year but it was with a store bought one. I used carrots, celery and onions underneath the turkey for the rack. Those vegetables aren't pretty after using them for a rack but the taste is out of this world.
I'm excited...this is our first turkey from the homestead!
