| Want a juicy, tasty bird? Try brining it first-----so very yum! Too get a lovely, crispy, tasty skin----- brush olive oil all over it and then: kosher salt, fresh ground 4 pepper blend and some garlic powder. |

Yes, I agree! I'm a huge believer in brining turkeys too, you can get one of those big paint buckets from Home Depot for a couple of bucks and place a turkey in that, with the salt water. The hardest part if finding room in the refrigerator, but it makes for the best turkey you've ever tasted. Salt allows the tissue to absorb water, so meat does not dry out, even breast meat. My family only will eat white meat, so I usually get a couple of breasts and it's much easier to get in a smaller bucket. There are many recipes out there for brining, and mainly differ in the amount of time you brine. The longer you brine, the less salt that is used. I usually just time this for connivance. I haven't' found that sea salt or kosher is any different than regular old Morton; just don't use salt with iodine added. Martha Steward has a wonder recipe for turkey or chicken stock, it's very similar to this link, except she sautés all the vegetable, or actually browns them in the stockpot first. This makes a great difference on the flavor of the broth, and I use this for stuffing, and gravy, and this can make it ahead of time. I swear this is so worth the time. It has the best flavor. You could baste with this as well, but if you brine the turkey, basting isn't really important. Basic Chicken Stock and more delicious recipes, smart cooking tips, and video demonstrations on marthastewart.com A couple of other differences, I noticed she uses whole cut up chicken and browns the chicken in a 350 degree oven for 1/2 hour while she's browning the vegetables, in a little oil.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I found the recipe. Roasted Turkey Stock 3 Tbs. veg. oil 4lbs chicken, 1 lbs onion (about 2 med) coarsely chopped, ½ lbs carrots (about 4) 1/8-pound celery (about 3 med), 12 cups water, 1 Tbs salt, 1 tsp peppercorns, 3 bay leaves. Preheat the oven to 425. Coat pan with 1 Tbs. oil. Add chicken skin side up. Roast for 30min., turning chicken every 19 min. Meanwhile in a large stockpot heat remaining 2 Tbs. oil over med high heat. Add the veg. and cook stirring occasionally until they start to brown. Add 2 cups of water and scrape any brown bits off the bottom. Add roasted turkey, salt, pepper and bay leaves. Add 2 cups of water to roasting pan and scrape any brown bits. Pour the contents of the pan into the stockpot and add the remaining 8 cups of water. Bring to boil. Discard any foam. Reduce heat to low and simmer 2 - 2 ½ hours. Strain the stock, discarding the rest. Place in ice water and skim off any fat. You can use this to make gravy, if you want to make it ahead of time. You can freeze for months.

| I also brine my Turkey, except I put cut up lemons and oranges in the water as well as salt. Then I brush with Olive Oil and season it well, stuff and bake. As far as gravy, I make a rue with equal parts butter and flour. Cook over low heat, the darker the rue the darker and richer the gravy. Watch and stir it often as it will burn. With the pumpkin pies I also do ice cream. I cut off one end of orange and cut the other just enough to have it stand on it own, I hollow out the orange, fill the rind with good vanilla ice cream, freeze until served top with whip cream. For the adults when serving I ad a little Amaretto, top with whip cream.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | First off...Martha Stewart hasn't had to cook nor make anything in years...she has people do it for her now...jsyk. Second...not turkey baste related. Ever make pineapple casserole? Omg...it is wonderful. I could eat just THAT. Third - I don't know the recipe off the top of my head. I can post it later if ya want. PS I mean no offense to Martha fans.

Man you get pretty snippy once you get your avatar, don't you? I SAW her make the stock, and while you're right, she probably shouldn't have called it turkey stock, it's the best darn stock I've ever tasted, the browning of the chicken and vegetables make a huge difference. I skipped that step one year, so I know. Thanks for mentioning a recipe that is wonderful, but not posting it.
