Truss and Brines<\/h2>\n

First, start with an unbrined natural turkey. That way, you can customize the brine<\/a> to suit your needs. For traditionalists, I recommend purchasing trussing bands. However, you can skip this step by spatchcocking<\/a> the turkey. First, put on a pair of Nitrile Gloves<\/a><\/strong>, remove the backbone with sharp kitchen shears<\/a><\/strong>, and lightly press the breast down to create an even cooking surface.<\/p>\n
