Rascal,Brine---Reduced prep cook day---All I had to do was rinse and cook Moister Turkey--throughout Reduced cook times--one of the 18 pounders cooked in 4 hours at 325 with platesetter Gives breast a nice sheen--kind of like when you use a mojoI cooked mine to 170 and it was outstanding---I even let it sit for almost 70 minutes before carving---It was all consumed and the stock from the carved turkey was aout 2 cups. I used sourwood honey as the sweetner.
