Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my daaaaarrrrlin' Clementine! Thou art lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine!
Enough of the goofy song. I had it in my head because I just baked my Best and Juiciest Turkey Ever, thanks to the brining process, where you soak a thawed bird in a salt solution for a great long while--at least 12 hours--I soaked mine over 24 hours. It is a fabulous prevention from dried out, need-more-gravy, stick-in-your-throat white meat.
Jason found this recipe in the Mobile Press:
3 c. Kosher salt
3 c. brown sugar
3 T. cracked black pepper
8 or so bay leaves
8 or so garlic cloves
Enough water to cover the turkey
And then you can add apples, oranges, cinnamon, rosemary, or whatever's clever. I threw in 3-4 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
I baked the turkey breast side down, according to Perfect Turkey.
Scrumdiddlyumptious.
And, since so many of you asked, I found the Bitty Booties pattern link on beesnest. Heather is a fun crafter to follow.
Happy Thanksgiving!

This recipe looks like a keeper. My mouth is watering. :)
You couldda added a couple bean sprouts to the mix, too. You really missed out on that one.
