Salt With a Side of Turkey

First Thanksgiving dinner in our new home.

Turkey came out beautifully...extremely moist. I used Alton Brown's recipe.

Reminder...for my next turkey dinner...when the recipe calls for adding a gallon of ice -> be sure to add the ice into the brine (as to dilute the mixture). It might come out a little salty if you don't.

Thank you for all that shared in our first thanksgiving dinner in our new home. We had so many side dishes: mashed potatoes, spinach&mushroom, stuffing, steamed vegetables, cornbread, and greenbean casserole.
For dessert: gourment chipotle chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin pie, and CANDIED YAMS (that's right...I put the candied yams in the dessert section and not the side dishes section)
