Does one brine the bird if it is gonna be fried???..For how long?............How much salt in the water??????.................OK, as long as I am on the subject.....grandbabies are gonna be eating this bird also. Seems a cajun marinade/injection may be just a bit "spicy" for Princess to really enjoy. What else might be good?.....Getting down to the doin it time..........life is good..........God bless.......Dennis

Dennis, I suppose maybe everyone does it a little differently, but I used to fry 2 turkeys for some of our family get togethers and knew one guy wanted nearly everything he ate plain, unseasoned, unsalted, etc. So, I'd use the Cajun Injector marinade on one and nothing at all on the other. And I've brined them first at times and did not brine them at other times. I think they tasted pretty good either way. At least it was all eaten.

We brine our turkeys regardless of whether we are baking, frying or smoking them. I think brining add a lot of moisture to the meat. The Good Eats (Alton Brown) brine is what we use.

I thaw the turkey then brine it in a 5 gallon water cooler. We have an extra one that get used for that purpose only. It has lid that seals well and I use a plastic bowl, that just fit inside, filled with water to weight down bird to keep it submerged completely.




Clean it with soap and water then some Clorox and water after each use.
