Easy Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe

Whatever your favorite Thanksgiving dish may be, there's one thing we can all agree on: a juicy, perfectly roasted turkey is the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving table. However, with so many different ways to cook a turkey (and the added pressure of cooking a moist, flavorful bird with crispy golden skin), you need to have one amazing turkey recipe that you can rely on year after year.

Though there's some debate as to whether or not you should brine your turkey (submerging it into a salt solution that helps to tenderize the meat and allows flavor to be absorbed into the meat), it is an easy way to roast a flavorful turkey. Our go-to Thanksgiving turkey recipe start with a brine. You'll need to plan ahead (the turkey needs to soak in the brine for a full 24 hours), but after that time you simply pat the turkey dry and roast it the oven. The results are fantastic.

This easy-to-accomplish roast turkey recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
