Thanksgiving Help

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
While I have been an avid Egger for the past two years......I'm still VERY intimidated by turkey. I've tried two and both were less than average in my opinion. I REALLY want to do the turkey on my egg this Thanksgiving. I know there is probably lots of info in the archives, but I thought I would approach the subject directly, seeing that Thanksgiving is just around the corner.[p]All recipes and help GREATLY appreciated :-)[p]bbqdiva

    Heya QBabe,[p]Thanks so much for the turkey help. I'm so depressed about my turkey abilities. I seem to do just about everything else O.K. LOL! I have a "gobbler" block I guess :P[p]Could you please explain the theory behind brine? How does that work and not make the meat salty? I've always wanted to try that. I'll definately experiment with brine before Tksgiving.[p]Also, I live in the Ormond Beach area and I hear you help organize an Eggfest our way :-) Never been to one. Is the next one in March 2007 in our area?[p]Much thanks and happy BBQ adventures,[p]bbqdiva

    Heya WessB,[p]I am overwhelmed at how helpful everyone is on here :-) [p]Cool link! [p]"The most commonly offered explanation is that the flavor brine solution contains a higher concentration of water and salt than the meat, so the solution passes into the meat cells through their semi-permeable membranes, adding water and flavor to the inside of the meat cells." [p]Among other theories! Excellent reading.[p]Many thanks,[p]bbqdiva
