After visiting my family i'll be then traveling to Erie to see the Otters play Belleville. That's probaly when my Thanksgiving won't be as happy as it started out to be.
i didn't know i was in charge of the turkey until the last minute.. no time for brine, just did flavor injection instead. Roasting it. I usually deep fry it at my parents house, but they're not doing Tgiving this year with all their children gone except for one. I think brining helps, but cooking the turkey to the appropriate temp is more important IMO.
