Turkey Brine Duration
Posted on 11/19/17 at 8:50 pm

I have a 10.5# Turkey wanting to dry brine it before I do an infrared fry. How many days before can I start the dry brine and leave it uncovered in my fridge? I will be injecting the night before.

You can brine up to three days ahead, but it's recommended to cover it up in plastic wrap until the last 24 hours when you leave it uncovered.

Tomorrow begin dry brine process. On Wednesday night leave it uncovered in fridge
ETA please don’t inject it. It doesn’t need it. Injecting proteins might be one of mankind’s worst ideas

Do yall just do salt for a dry brine?

You can add baking powder to increase skin crispiness.

Nice tip, thanks. I assume that works regardless of cooking method?

Yes. The salt works with the surface proteins which allows them to contract and release less of the juice if you don't overcook the bird. It works with any cooking method, but I'd recommend a probe meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
I'd also recommend spatchcocking.

If you dry brine, you don’t need to inject.

Should I stick the probe in the breast when cooking? What temp?

If I add baking powder during the dry brine, should I still add olive oil before sticking the it in the infrared fryer?

Gary you can use Folger decaf as well for crispness then wash off before the cook.
