I did the dry brine. It worked out so well. I will dry brine all my turkeys in the future. I accidentally overcooked the turkey slightly, that normally would have made it dry…and awful. The dry brine saved it. The turkey was so moist and delicious. All my guests commented on it!
Tried this brine recipe for my pre-Thanksgiving test turkey, and it was the perfect blend of spices and flavors! And such juicy results, like I’ve never had before! Can I use this wet brine recipe for a whole chickens as well?
All I have to say is WOW!!! Best brine. It was my first year making the whole thanksgiving meal for everyone and this brine made my turkey the star of the show. It was so tender and juicy and just melted in your mouth.
Super easy and honestly the best brine I have ever made. I was showered with compliments because the Turkey turns out so moist and juicy. This is my go-to Brine!
I’ve tried wet brining a turkey before, but it wasn’t very successful. I think I didn’t brine the turkey long enough, and the meat ended up being a bit dry. I follow your instructions step by step and this time it was successful. The turkey turn out moist and juicy!
This brine was amazing! It smelled delightful and our turkey came out perfectly moist and delicious! I highly recommend! We also followed Erin’s instructions from her post on how to cook a Turkey and it contains everything you need for the perfect turkey! I really want to try her dry brine too!!!
I did the dry brine for the first time but too bad I slightly overcooked the turkey. I could tell it had great flavor (and the dsrk meat was fine). I hope nailed it next time.
I’ve been brining my turkey for years, and I’ve always used the wet brine method. But after seeing this, I decided to try the dry brine method instead. I was so glad I did! My turkey turned out even better than usual.
Cannot even describe how amazing this was. This year I was in charge of Easter dinner and made this. It was my first turkey and no one could believe how incredibly juicy, tender, and moist it was.
Went with the wet brine, and it made for a turkey that everyone raved about!!! I might try dry brine next year just so it’s tidier but this felt worth it
I recently used this brine and the turkey turned out amazing! We like to cook the turkey crisp on the outside, but the inside was still juicy and tender.
I made this brine for my 20 lb turkey. I brined it for a day and a half. It came out super moist and delicious. This was my second time making a turkey.
I doubled the brine for my 20 lb turkey last year and let it brine a little over 24 hours. We also stuffed the turkey with some fruits and herbs to maintain moisture. Looking forward to recreating this dish in just a few days for Thanksgiving!
I did this for the first time last Christmas and it was by far the best Turkey we have ever cooked. It was super moist and so flavorful.
Yay! Makes me so happy to hear Sharon!

Hi Danielle! So glad it worked out for you! Yes, you should be able to wet brine chicken as well.

Best turkey I’ve ever made!!! Moist and delicious, not too salty. We used a convection oven, and it was done earlier.
Absolutely amazing! The turkey came out perfectly and was so flavorful and juicy. Thank you!!!
Hi Kayla! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!

My prior wet brines were a bit of a disaster. I followed your step by steps and now my family thinks I am the turkey queen. Thanks for all the tips

Made no changes except that I only soaked my turkey for about 10 hours. Still a delicious turkey and I will definitely do this from now on.
Hi Emily! So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Absolutely delicious! I cut down the amount of salt in my brine but it still turns out juicy and tender.
Wonderful to hear Marie! Thank you!
