Front-Ranger:
Last weekend I cooked my second turkey of the season. The first one was roasted the normal way, but for the second one, I brined it for two days in a mixture of water, kosher salt, sugar, lemon juice, garlic, and bay leaves. On the day I was to cook it, I rinsed off the turkey and patted it with paper towels. I let it air dry for an hour or so, then rubbed it with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smashed garlic cloves. I stuffed it loosely with aromatics and popped it into a hot (425) oven for 20 minutes. I then lowered the heat to 325 and cooked the turkey with a thermometer probe in the breast until the internal temperature reached 165F. I let the turkey rest, tented in foil, for close to an hour while I made the gravy. Got compliments all around the table such as "best turkey ever!" and we're enjoying the leftovers too.
