Summary
Dry-brining a turkey ensures a moist and seasoned bird that also takes up less space in the refrigerator than a wet-brined one. Don't dry-brine a kosher (previously salted) turkey; the result will be too salty.
Ingredients
- 1 14-pound turkey, neck and heart reserved for Easy Turkey Stock
- 1/3 cup coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons coarsely cracked black peppercorns
- Simple Turkey Gravy (optional)
