What up FoodTube it is DJ BBQ
and it's getting to that time of the year where people are going to be cooking up
turkeys man for Thanksgiving, Christmas, the holidays, so I'm here
to give you guys a wonderful turkey
brine recipe to help kind of goof proof your cooking man
to add flavour, succulent, moisture because there ain't nothing worse than carving into a turkey breast
and it being all dry
yang, yang, tell you to gobble gobble, gobble, gobble, are you ready
yeah, so we got our water
heating up, we've got about thirteen cups, about 2 litres of water
Salt it's the key ingredient to your brine
So let's get, there's about half a cup in here.
8 tablespoons of sugar
one, two and 8
let's get all those flavours rocking in there now
it's time for the fruit so we want to add
two lemons into this concoction let's get some lemon juice in there
woo-ee
That's the smell of the holidays right there so let's get that smell of that holidays
into our brine woo-ee and I'll tell you what, the zest of a tangerine is beautiful
now it's the turn of garlic
I like going minimal eight cloves of garlic
just expose that beautiful beautiful flavour
get in there garlic I reckon garlic's one of the best inventions ever
next to fire, spandex
boom, did you get that one?
yeah okay, one, two, three chilli
so we're going to add some heat to our cooking woo
seeds now got sugar the salt are the citrus
the Chili Peppers, the garlic now it's the turn of the spice
so we're going to start with these bad boys, look at these
gnarly rugged cinnamon sticks
aww, one in there, a little half one
Now it's the turn of the herbs, herbs, herbs, the h is silent like it hors d'oeuvres
hors d'oeuvres okay so we're going to grab a bunch
of rosemary get in there rosemary
bunch of sage, break up some of those herb
leaves and branches get them in there once the sugars and salts dissolved
you need to cool that brine down so I've got a big
jug of ice, four cups of ice, here's the key
you do not wanna put your turkey in to warm brine you don't want it
cooking the turkey early it's got to be cool let that ice do its magic
and now it is time for our turkey to meet
the brine, sup y'all the turkey goes
I'm going to go feet first, oh it's bit too cold
oh it's a bit too cold
oh so cold, oh, okay, so
the displacement of the brine
and there's our beautiful turkey in the brine
you want to do it at least overnight I like to go
minimal 24 hours on my brining and that's going to add a layer of flavour
now I need a yellow wipe, a yellow wipe so I can start
eating the turkey please can someone give me a
editor dude yellow wipe s'il vous plaît
