We have been brining for 2 years now. It is not a fluke - they turn out much better.

Sounds good. It doesn't work on pancakes though.

Since the spouse does 90% of the cooking these days I'll pass along these tips to him (or maybe NOT).* But, do you put anything-other than turkey-in the soup?? The carcass is still in the fridge, man, and I'm thinking tomorrow is turkey soup day.* Temperatures will be dropping to the 70s here in SO AZ, perfect soup weather.

Rough Turkey soup
A 12 qt. kettle
Put the turkey carcass (w at least two lbs of meat attached to bones, cover w/ water.
Boil/simmer 4-8 hours, the longer the better, the meat gets stringy which you may not like, but we do.
Pick out inedible gunk
Add 3-5 cut up stalks of celery, one carrot, a couple of medium onions. Add a small amount of any other veggie you want, but not too much. Start the reboil. Add some cooked pasta: Martha likes a few big lasagna noodles  .
Add seasoning such as pepper or little Italian seasoning and salt as needed. Parsley is nice at this point or chives or green onions, etc.. Add dumpling balls. Simmer/boil for 10-15 minutes until dumplings are done.
Don't forget: husbands enjoy being grabbed at and fondled during the holiday season, especially in the kitchen when no one is looking. That's the other secret ingredient.
--Greg

Re: How big is your bird?
DW says we're (finally) out of turkey! With UNY temps in the unseasonable hi 50's, I'm thinking steak on the barby!
