My mother broke down and bought an organic/free-range bird this year, but when I suggested using wine in the baking, she protested, "But then we won't have any left to drink!" Oh well.

I was quite perplexed about brining the bird this year because I had the same concern about it possibly distorting it's natural flavor. Thanks so much for your post. It was certainly very helpful. -Carmen I am so happy to have came across your blog because we’re cooking a heritage turkey this year for the first time too.

Wanted a heritage turkey but didn’t get yourself one in time? I’m gonna’ do my darndest to remind you in time for next year.

We soaked the bird in a brine solution she got at William Sonoma, it really kept it moist. OMG, the turkey was so good and I get to do it again in a few days!
