[Sca-cooks] First Turkey Jitters--Brine it!!!

[Jeff Gedney]

Nah, it just means that if the bird is more than
eight pounds you use 2 gallons.

6lb bird 1 1/2 gals brine
7lb bird 1 3/4 gals brine
8lb bird 2 gals brine
9lb bird 2 gals brine
10lb bird 2 gals brine
11lb bird 2 gals brine
etc

Going back to school is like riding a bike ...

After fumbling with the pedals, getting saddle
sores from a too-small seat, and struggling
uphill, you realize why you got a car in the
first place.
