Once you have brined your turkey in a delicious, salty and herbaceous brine, these next steps will take you to turkey perfection. Rubbing an herb butter on and under the turkey skin helps brown and crisp up the skin while seasoning the meaty interior. This recipe is so good, you may decide to use it for all your future turkey dinners!

Brining a turkey is a miraculous way to impart flavor into the meat and ensure it is juicy even after roasting. This method also means you will have most of your prep done many hours in advance of Thanksgiving day. Once you have tried this with your holiday bird, consider brining any large cuts of meat such as bone-in pork roast, beef, chicken, duck or goose.

This hearty dish is delicious all year round but is particularly perfect during Autumn when apples are at their freshest and the summer herbs are still in bloom. Be sure to get bone-in pork chops as they will have the most flavor and retain more moisture than pork loin chops.
