It's coming up on one of my favorite times of the year...THANKSGIVING! There's very little that I love more than lots of turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and so on and so on! My mouth is watering just writing about it! So, in honor of my favorite holiday, I am posting the first Thanksgiving recipe of the season. I hope the rest of you will follow suit.

I have hosted the past 3 Thanksgivings at my house and I have made the turkey the same way every year. I BRINE my turkey before I cook it. It has now become the tradition for our family. So, I know this works and it makes the moistest and juiciest turkey you have ever tasted!

So, try something new! It's super easy and you won't regret it!
