I adapted a recipe like this to garlic, lemon juice/white wine, sugar, salt, chili flakes and sour cream. Yum.

I like using the same recipe for Swiss chard.

Just black pepper. I keep it simple, so the delicious taste of the little green treats shines through.

I've always been told not to trust anyone who doesn't like brussels sprouts, because they have poor taste and their opinions are bound to be wrong.

How do you store your turkey while it is brining? I know you can put it in a bucket with the water but that would not fit in my fridge.

Giant stock pot with ice in the brine. Stock pot goes into a cooler and then can go somewhere that's dark (ie: Corner or garage). Brining isn't done for much longer than 24-36 hours.

Thanksgiving is cancelled for the second year in a row thanks to Covid.

I will be having Chicken on the Way. (sorry the basement is closed also due to Covid)

Thanksgiving ham is awesome.

Christmas we #### canned turkey in my house. One year the kids ask why we have turkey at Christmas, I asked if they wanted anything else instead. The answer was ribs. We have had Christmas ribs ever since. It is one of the few things I like about Easter.

Easter bleh

For those that brine do you add any other spices other than salt? Also how many wet vs dry briners?

Umm... I can't speak for others, but when I brine it definitely isn't water and salt.

It's closer to something like this but instead of cider, basically like vegetable broth and spices. Sometimes I do use juice in lieu of the sugar.

It’s not for this weekend but I really want to brine and smoke a medium-sized turkey. If I can prove to my wife that I can do it successfully in a trial run then maybe I can do it this Christmas or next Thanksgiving. Any advice before I go searching for recipes and techniques?
