Rascal,We did the Alton Brown Honey Brine and then roasted per Mad Max, sans herbs and basting, because the drippings would have been too salty from the brine. It turned out great. Breast meat was very moist. The three extended family members in attendance said it was "the best turkey" they've ever had. Kind of hard to qualify that statement, because so many people grow up eating and still eat the "traditional" dried out turkey, but I can say without a doubt it is the juiciest bird I've ever cooked. And the brine was super simple. I'll definitely do it again.TRex
