She left a lot of seasoning in that pot! 😃

That looks like $100. worth of seasoning if there was thyme, rosemary etc in that bowl.

Kids, always handle poultry with disposable gloves on.

Also, totally submerge the bird in brine.

Hi! I am wondering you have the proportion / recipe at all? I’m not sure how much salt or sugar to add . My turkey says basted on the packaging should I cut down the salt?

[mcdatacomm]

Would been good to tell how much salt and how much sugar in the

After dry brining how long do u leave the turkey before cooking it? Can i wash it of and add some melted butter over the breast?

As a chef you left all those nice herbs and peppercorns in the pot you dumped the brine out of. Gotta let it marinate with the bird

It's not submerged at all in that bag, a pot would be way better, she left all the seasoning behind in the pot, and when she tried to show us how easy it was to close the bag with that clip it wasn't really closing. It was only closed in the next shot.

Is there a reason WHY you scrapped the ice water out of the pitcher?! 🤦🏽‍♂️

This bag is not food grade. This bag is for vacuuming clothes!

[tinabailey]

Alot of good this is without the recipe for the brine !!😡

She looks like she doesn't know what she is doing
