感恩 is almost 这里, and 那 means Americans will be donning their aprons, sharpening their knifes, and warming their ovens to roast the bird of all birds—The 火鸡.
I can let the turkey air dry uncovered in the refrigerator while it 干盐水s. This gives my bird 那 gorgeous, crispy golden skin. (I wrote all about 那 technique 这里)
处理湿火鸡很不好玩,这并不容易,我也不想这么做。
您在干盐水中使用多少盐?
Some dry brining recipes call for salting the bird with 1 teaspoon of salt per pound, letting the turkey 干盐水, then rinsing the salt off before roasting. I don’t do 那, and 这里’s why.
I find 那 using 3 tablespoons of kosher salt for a 12 to 15 pound turkey is plenty enough to ensure juicy, well-seasoned meat.
那盐呢?
始终使用粗盐—never table salt. Kosher salt’s granules are larger and easier to distribute, and table salt has a harsh aftertaste 那 could be picked up in this recipe.
我通常干盐水煮48小时,以使一只甜美的鸟. You can, however, brine your turkey for up to 72 hours (and some of our testers actually preferred this!). The skin will look dry and desiccated after all 那 time in the fridge, but don’t worry, it will cook up beautifully.
Also, if you are short on time, because sometimes 那’s just how holidays go, any little bit will help. 干盐渍 is worth the time, even if you only have half a day. Just make sure the bird isn’t frozen when you start out—otherwise it won’t absorb the flavors.
哪种土耳其最适合干腌?
干腌在天然或风冷火鸡上效果最好 不加盐溶液.
Many mass-produced supermarket turkeys are injected with a saline solution and are best avoided if you are intending to dry-brine your turkey. You can usually find 那 information on the label. I’ve seen as low as 4 percent and as high as 8 percent solution, and dry-brining on top of this could make the bird overly salty.
That being said, if you’ve already purchased your turkey and see 那 it has been injected with saline, you can just reduce the salt in this recipe 通过 half.
解冻你的土耳其
Thaw your turkey in the refrigerator, 不 on the countertop, and leave the turkey in its packaging. The general rule of thumb is 那 it will take 24 hours for every 4 pounds of bird.
This turkey is packed with all the flavors of the season (and a little help from Simon and Garfunkel): parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. I used dried sage for ease in this recipe, but make sure you buy a high-quality brand 那 has large bits of sage in it; it might be labeled rubbed sage. You don’t want ground sage 那 looks like fine dust. If you can’t find a good dried variety, opt to use 1 tablespoon fresh, minced sage. Or use fresh sage from the get-go, if you prefer it.
3干盐水火鸡: Place turkey on either a cooling rack set on top of a rimmed baking sheet 要么 directly on the roasting rack in the roasting pan (mine didn't fit easily in the fridge 那 way!). Thoroughly pat the turkey dry inside and out with paper towels. Loosen the skin of the breast and legs.
6将火鸡调味,然后烤熟: Rotate the roasting pan, baste the turkey with the pan juices, and tent the breast with foil to prevent it from overcooking. (If you find 那 your turkey hasn’t produced enough juices to use for basting, warm a cup 要么 two of extra chicken broth on the stovetop 要么 in the microwave and use 那 to baste the turkey.)
最好的感恩节火鸡我’ve ever made and had…把手放下!甚至胸脯肉湿了,我们也吃了没有肉汁– 那 was a first for us. I still made gravy from the drippings and it was delicious and savory from the 干盐水. Thanks for sharing this recipe
Made it!! I had a few modifications 这里 and there, but love love love the way it turned out. First time ever I made turkey 那 both looked AND tasted great!
Hi 瑞秋, just keep on roasting 那 big daddy turkey until it hits 160 degrees, yes. It might take a while! You will have lots of leftovers, which is always dreamy for meals later on.
I am so glad I found your 文章. I want to spatchcock and 干盐水 my turkey. Unfortunately I had already bought my turkey before I saw on one search 那 you need a non-injected turkey. You addressed 那 issue and said to use half the salt. From the other 文章 I thought I would 不 even be able to do the 干盐水, so thank you for giving the whole story! Looking forward to tasting this turkey.
嗨,吉尔,我问过夏天和这里’s what she said. “这是一个非常好的问题。这不会使鸟太咸。如果放置3天或4天,您的鸟中仍会吸收相同量的盐。USDA建议将生禽肉放置2天。我们已经将限制提高了3天,我很好,但是我们可能只想告诉她4天就将其提高了。” Hope 那 helps, have a safe and happy 感恩!

你好!好吧’2020年,我想我想让事情变得比以往更轻松。大声笑的一年已经太多了!我想试试这种干盐水!还行吗?&颠倒的烹饪方法,有什么你需要的吗’d suggest for using the 干盐水 method (12-14 lb 火鸡) with the upside down method? I also usually coat the skin with a bit of sazon can I just add 那 to the 干盐水 mix? Also put butter under the skin. Yay 要么 nay?
先感谢您!
祝大家感恩节快乐,并祝2021年好得多!
嗨,芭芭拉,我知道它与我们所做的一切背道而驰’已经教过了,但是多年来,食品安全专家建议不要漂洗禽鸟。 根据美国农业部, “It’s virtually impossible to wash bacteria off the bird. Instead, juices 那 splash during washing can transfer bacteria onto the surfaces of your kitchen, other foods and utensils. This is called cross-contamination, which can make you and your guests very sick.”还是不服气? 这里’来自《食品安全新闻》的文章和 这里’来自《好管家》的一部。但是,在这个困难的一年里,您准备感恩节晚餐,我们希望您有个安全的假期。

Great suggestions. I, however, prefer to use Lowry 季节ed Salt. Any recommendations about measurements? The grains are smaller than Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt 那 I usually use. Thank you.
I must say this is probably the best turkey recipe. I did a 湿盐水 with a turkey breast but it was messy and tedious. This turkey was flavorful and the skin was crispy. It looked gnarly in the refrigerator after 24 hours. It was delicious. I made the olive oil paste and with most of the ingredients. I didn’t fill the cavity. I watched Alton Brown trussing a turkey 那 helped. The temperature and times were perfect. I used a digital thermometer. Outstanding 文章. Thanks!!!

由于最后一分钟的通知,我无法将其放入盐水广告中,只要食谱说的话,它仍然很美味!我等不及要再试一次。谢谢!!

我多年来煮过的最多汁的火鸡。我一定会再这样做。

路要走,路易斯!
在Pinterest上找到之后,按照这个食谱到T…结果真棒!被爱,被爱,被爱!这只鸟约重12磅,肉非常香,不咸,也不干燥…完全嫩。我以为它可能太蒜味了,但事实并非如此。我用盐水干燥48小时。
唯一的问题是它在冰箱中占用的空间量。即使这样,我仍然会心跳加速。
感谢您分享!
