Some people seem to think that you should 'wash' a turkey before cooking it. That's not a good idea. All you'll do is spread the germs which lurk on the bird's skin. Cooking properly kills these anyway.Why do some recipes say brine a turkey before roasing what does it do?
Soak it in brine for 24 hours then roast it,Better flavour.
Brine(salt water) helps to clean the inside of the bird.
It makes the turkey moist and the skin crispy! It's really easy to do and well worth it. At least for a holiday meal.
Urggg fill it with salty water??? No thanks! Just roast it and baste well with butter for a nice crispy skin!
Brining keeps the the juices in and the turkey moist while adding flavor to the meat.





Brining is usually done in salty water, but in addition you can add some sugar (to counterbalance) and seasonings and even citrus juice. This results in a moist and flavorful turkey (or chicken).
