Is 4 Days too Long to Brine a Turkey

Picked up the turkey today. Is it too early to start with a dry brine?

24 hours is plenty in my opinionEoin said:Picked up the turkey today. Is it too early to start with a dry brine? -
IMO, a little too soon. I've gone 54 hrs. w. med. turkey, and it was fine. I suppose if your bird is bigger, it might take 72 hr.

I do three days total. 2 is kosher salt only covered, then 1 uncovered and don’t rinse. I spatched. My method detailed here; https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1222115/help-my-wife-is-doubting-spatchcock-turkey#latest

I think it was @fishlessman that posted this. The process produces legit turkey

I’d try it and report back. Personally, I’m inclined to believe it will work out just fine.

Agree with this recipe. Did it for Friendsgiving this year and was a hit.Mattman3969 said:I think it was @fishlessman that posted this. The process produces legit turkey

Got it brining this afternoon, so it'll have a bit less than 3 days. As well as the salt, I blended rosemary, thyme and sage and added pepper, including a lot of crushed green and pink peppercorns. It's sat in a cooler outside now, I'll leave it uncovered for the last 24 hours.

I did an 18 hour wet brine on a 20 pounder this past Thanksgiving. It turned out really well. Kosher salt, brown sugar, and Penzeys Northwoods seasoning.Michiana, South of the border.
