I think a lot of people are intimidated be the turkey especially when it comes to cooking that perfect turkey that the in-laws will be critiquing from here to eternity. Truth be told cooking the perfect turkey isn't really as tough as it looks. I use the brining method to ensure moist meat and brush the turkey with bacon fat and herbs to get that crispy skin and that amazing golden brown color. The brining is simple all it is really is a mixture of water, salt and sugar if you desire sugar. The turkey sits in the solution breast side down for 24 hours and then is removed rinsed and seasoned. I then render a few pieces of bacon and reserve the fat. I mix it with my desired seasoning and fresh chopped herbs and brush the entire turkey. I base the turkey throughout the cooking process and that it! Here's how mine turned out!
