All-Natural Brined Young Turkey

Our fresh brined turkeys are free-range, which means they can roam freely outdoors as desired, but also have indoor shelter available when needed. These turkeys are antibiotic-free and are brined with up to 8% solution of water, sugar, sea salt and black pepper, this brine helps deliver a moist and succulent eating experience.

Ingredients

1 L&B Fresh Free Range Brined Young Turkey

Directions

Remove neck and giblets from breast cavity.
Place turkey in shallow roasting pan. Loosely cover with aluminum foil.
Roast in the oven according to package directions or use the USDA timetable below as a reference.
Baste occasionally with pan juices.
One hour before turkey is done, remove the foil so the turkey browns. If turkey reaches desired color before it finishes cooking, place the aluminum foil cover back on top of the turkey.
Remove turkey from oven and allow to rest 20 minutes before carving.

NOTE: For food safety reasons we do not recommend stuffing your turkey.
