There is none other JRJ- IN and OUT Burger! This picture is currently on my desktop as a constant reminder.

Why, Boom, is that your toe painted red in the photo?!? 8)

Gotta agree with yah, Boomyal, (with the burger, not your red toe nail polish) if I am gonna eat an assembly line burger it is an In n Out burger or I don’t eat an assembly line burger. And the In n Out fries are good, too.

I just saw "the Big Lebowski" on Showtime (for the 150th time) the other night & every time I see the scene where they go & shake down the kid they think stole the million bucks, they go to the In & Out Burger & eat in the car with the busted windshield I nearly pee my pants!

Boom, that is a great recipe! Did my turkey with it last year. Smoked some venison hind quarters using it last year also. WOW! Talk about juicey and delicious! The apple juice was a good compliment to the hickory and mesquite smoke.

Alas, my smoker fell into a hundred pieces over the summer and I have yet to replace it.

Won't be doing the turkey this thanksgiving, so may have to do a small bird next week with the brine, or wait till Christmas. Will see.

Re: Re-post of Boomyal's Brined Turkey Recipe!

Geeesh, I thought I was going to get out of doing the brine thing this year. However 4 of the family members must have remembered how good it was last year!

Thanks Boom for reposting it,,,,The family here will appreaciate it.

BTW,,,,,my citation was dropped, my boss had a local contractor (a close friend) call and tell them that I was doing work for them under his license. All taken care of and I can continue doing work there when needed. Good to have friends in different places.

"And Boom, thanks for sharing, makes me look like a genius."

Ain't that the truth!

Since Boomyal first posted this brine recipe a few years ago here on iboats there are at least 50 people (just from me passing it along) using it this year.

Boomyal I sent this recipe to a friend earlier this week.
For her and family.

She is the head hauncho / directer for food in a major hospital back east.
Here is her reply
"Never heard of such a thing, but the funny thing is, my head chef just asked me fifteen miutes ago if I had a recipe for a Brine.

Thanks"

Your going to be a legion in your own time!

Re: Re-post of Boomyal's Brined Turkey Recipe!

A list of things culinary that are fun to play with:

1) Pasta Salads...take a good basic recipe (I have one, pm me if you want it) and play with it to your own liking.

2) Brining solutions....this topic is testimony to that. I'm certain lots of folks are playing with it.

3) Omlettes...good first "challanging" recipe to teach a child. Add whatever you like and see how it comes out...

4) Grind and pack your own sausages...for the more adventuresome chefs of the board.

5) Anything over open flame.....BBQ...Jerk....Smoking....whatever you call it...lots of fun with this one....




Anybody else got one they want to throw in?

Re: Re-post of Boomyal's Brined Turkey Recipe!

Update on the deep fried “Boom Special.” The14 lbs. bird enjoyed a 36 hour "preparation soak" prior to its final baptism. The Turkey was introduced to the fryer when the oil temperature reached 350 degrees the. It bathed at a full "boil" for forty minuets. The real shock came when the main course was retrieved from the fryer. The bird’s skin color resembled that of coal on a moonless night, only darker. The looks from the arm chair chiefs spoke volumes as the “black bird” was paraded into the kitchen. However any pre dining thoughts of a thoroughly torched carbon, tasting main dish vanished faster than the turkey after the first taste. Other than the Blackened look, (understatement) the bird was outstanding. The only issue I have is the lack of leftovers,…………I’m going to miss my Friday after, turkey sandwiches (Damm you Boom). But, I regress, moving on, I would not hesitate to do another in the future, in fact the wife’s side of the family may just be treated to Black Bird for Christmas this year. And Boom, Thanks again

Re: Re-post of Boomyal's Brined Turkey Recipe!

LT, glad to hear your experience. I wonder if it was the brown sugar, in the brine, that turned the bird black? I'll have to try the fried route one of these days. I have the equipment, commonly referred to as the 'Saturn Rocket Booster'.

I was going to take a picture of my bird and post it in my post above. But the bird came off the smoker and onto the cutting board before I could wipe the grease off my hands and grab the camera. The rest is history! It's all gone. No leftovers. Nada. Zilch. Zero:'(

Had to bring this back up for the Christmas bird. Thanks Boom!

Re: Re-post of Boomyal's Brined Turkey Recipe!

I have Boomyal's brined turkey in the oven as we speak. I had to make a turkey for Mr. LF's office party today.

I became confused about the internal temp and cooking methods so I tried one that recommended to roast your brined turkey at 450 for the first 30 minutes, then reduce oven temp to 325 and cover it for the rest of the cooking time. Well, it also turned really really dark but I don't care because I know the finished product is awesome like it was last year.

Thanks again for this recipe, I refuse to roast a turkey without using this brine recipe after trying it!

LF, the dark color is probably due to the brown sugar. Also, a Thanksgiving article in our local paper said you do not have to cook to 185 degrees as previously heralded. 165 is sufficient to kill anything and it makes a huge difference in the moisture content.

I'm gonna do a brined 12 lb deep fried bird on Christmas day.

Re: Re-post of Boomyal's Brined Turkey Recipe!

I'm sure you're right Boom about the brown sugar. I did 165 temp in the deepest part of the thigh. The turkey was done perfectly and as moist as can possibly be. 8)

Gathering up all the frying hardware as I type. Gettin ready to drop the 12 lb'r into the oil this afternoon.

I brined for a shorter time than I normally do but I am looking forward to a delicious treat! MMMMMMMMMM Good! Fortunately it has stopped raining so I won't have to fry it in the garage!:%

Re: Re-post of Boomyal's Brined Turkey Recipe!

I ended up brining our bird a little longer than I should have - it was in for about 28 hours. The apple and brown sugar almost overpowered the bird. It was still very good, and very moist, just will make sure it is not in the brine for quite as long - maybe pull it out at around 18 hours.
