Brining is great, mashed potatoes is probably the favorite side dish.

I use a pretty simple brine with kosher salt, brown sugar, rosemary, thyme, I don't have the recipe with me right now though.

Have not fried or smoked a turkey yet, but did one roasted, and had a small dinner last year with just the turkey breast in an air fryer, turned out really good.

Any favorites for you?

- Brine is similar to yours...usually toss in some garlic apple cider and cranberries as well. TakethetrainKnute 10:52am · 11/19/20
  - It's entirely possible that it has ACV in the brine wrdomerson 12:22pm · 11/19/20
    - Depends on how much time I have before cooking the chicken. TampaIrish 12:39pm · 11/19/20
- Indeed. Try a splash of apple cider or ginger ale for some sweetness in addition to sugar.NT Stark Raving Dad 9:53am · 11/19/20
