the BiRd

I planned on brining my turkey using this recipe found on the food network website, but I learned if I purchase my turkey from Trader Joe's it comes already brined in kosher salt. The real incentive is that it has never been frozen and has no artificial ingredients...Perfect! One less step. My new plan is to stuff it with aromatics (red apple, onion, cinnamon stick, rosemary and sage) like found in this recipe also from the food network. I don't like shoving stuffing inside my bird...I'm afraid it doesn't cook evenly.

ooo! I'm getting excited!
