Ok here are some of the shots.

Turkey home grown and butchered.




The brine achieved full penetration of the breast meat.  The bird was very succulent and the dressing was amazing.  The mother in law thought it was too spicy, however, salt and pepper are considered exotic, ROFL.
 
Dane, morning....   Great looking bird....  That home grown bird looks amazing.....  Your MIL was just jealous of your culinary skill IMHO...
