I'm going to cook a 3 lb. turkey breast half tomorrow. Is there any reason I shouldn't make the brine today, let that sit in the fridge overnight and then brine the breast tomorrow?

No reason not too, not enough time for anything to go bad if there was anything in there to go bad. Plus your brine will be nice and cool. Or you could brine today and pull it later to let it "dry" in the fridge to crisp any skin if applicable.

FYI- a 3lb turkey breast is an overnight brine (12-18 hours). If you are cooking it tomorrow, you need to get it in the brine tonight. That will give you a few hours to let it dry in the fridge before cooking. That is a key step as it forms the pellicle (the sticky surface that all the smoke and flavors stick to).Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Yeah I sometimes freeze brine until I'm ready to use it.Dunedin, FL
