I usually bake my turkey without using the brine method… I have done the brine method and really can’t tell any difference. I think using a fresh, not frozen, turkey makes all the difference in the world. Love the “Brown-n-Bags”…turkey size…follow instructions for baking regarding time and temperature with the exception of my notes in the directions.
