ABOUT EIGHT MINUTES OR LESS, IF YOU’RE PLANNING TO COOK A TURKEY ON THANKSGIVING DAY, EXPERTS SAY IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE TOOLS NOW. AND THERE’S ONE TOOL THAT EXPERTS SAY YOU NEED TO HELP YOU GET A JUICY, DELICIOUS TURKEY OR GABRIELLE KOMOROWSKI HAS MORE. PLENTY OF TIME TO THAW. WE SPOKE WITH THE DEPARTMENT HEAD AT THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF THE CAROLINAS AT GREENVILLE TECHNICAL COLLEGE FOR A TURKEY THAT IS NOT OVERCOOKED AND DRY. CHEF KRISTEN GRISSOM RECOMMENDS LETTING YOUR TURKEY SIT IN A BRINE OVERNIGHT BEFORE YOU COOK IT. YOU CAN DO THAT IN THE REFRIGERATOR. MAKE SURE THE BRINE IS 41 DEGREES OR LOWER. AND SHE SAYS TO THROW OUT THE POP UP THERMOMETER THAT COMES WITH THE TURKEY AND USE A NEEDLE TYPE OF FOOD THERMOMETER FOR SO ONE 60IN THE THICKEST PART OF THE TURKEY PULL IT OUT, LET IT REST FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. LET THOSE JUICES SETTLE BACK IN BEFORE YOU CARVE IT. AND YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE A NICE MOIST TURKEY. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT. CHEF KRISTIN SAYS TO SET A REMINDER NOW TO TAKE YOUR TURKEY OUT OF THE FREEZER LATER THIS WEEK. MOST TURKEYS ARE FROZEN WHEN WE BUY THEM. CHEF KRISTIN SAYS YOU SHOULD THAW YOUR TURKEY IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR 5 TO 7 DAYS. GABRIELLE KOMOROWSKI.
