Thanksgiving Day...Turkey?
Are you doing your planning? This year we are going to do 'the bird'. Anyone have a special recipe they like to prepare and bring to the table? Grill? Oven roasted? Deep fry? Also good...

I like the Butter Ball turkey too, but to all of those who brine (like me), I've always read that the oil injected turkeys like Butter Ball are not recommended for brining. Just curious how it comes out.
Ron, the recommendation for brining Butterballs is to just cut way back on the salt because the "injection" has a lot of sodium already. Go light on the salt, heavy on the sugar and spices. I also like to put flavored butter up under the breast skin.
Good info Dave, I always thought it had to do with the margarine like substance they put in the bird. Cutting back on the salt makes sense, thanks. What ratio of salt do you use with the Butterball?
