I brine whole chickens pretty often. I have never brined a frozen (thawed)turkey. I cook my turkey in a bag and have been doing so for about 40 years, so I'm not changing now.
I was perusing the interwebs looking for a brine variation for turkey. I was reading on the fine red-head pioneer woman's site and she highly suggested not brining frozen turkey ( only fresh)
reason being that most frozen turkey already has some sort of sodium based solution added during processing. Sounded legit to me. what say ye? I have never F'd up a turkey in all these years, but always looking for a leg(or thigh) up.
Happy Thanksgiving y'all.
