Turkey time - post up your favorites

BigMike:
My wife and I are hosting her family for Thanksgiving.  We've probably only prepared Thanksgiving dinner 5 times in the 18 years we've been married.  My wife is a great cook and I suck at it, but can follow directions. 


Never brined a turkey.  What is the best way.  I assume it is to lock in the moisture.


My wife is a cornbread stuff and I like regular so we do both.  I grew up in a very Italian family and it always has sausage in it.  She thinks that is gross.  We'll have the usual mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, something green (she won't make a green bean casserole).


Post up your favorite dishes that you make and if you have any special recipes or tips, please share.

EDIT: Friend just sent me this https://www.jonesdairyfarm.com/recipes/by-product/bacon/bacon-wrapped-herb-roasted-turkey

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We just put our turkey in a brine last night. Sooner is better than later. Some sort of Burbon mixture.

My wife did it all. I just poured the brine mix in...
We used one of the LARGE ziplock bags from Walmart

Public house brines their chicken in SWEET TEA!!!! I was giving my wife shit yesterday for not using sweet tea...

yeah...and potentially wasting bourbon.  Definitely interested in the results (e.g., PM your address...I'll be over in the afternoon).

Come on over! Should I save the brine mixture for you? We'll have the funnel ready.

I use this type of brine w the citrus
 But I also add some brown sugar

A brined turkey is damn good.  You can bake it, smoke it, fry it.  All are good
