Today, I will be sharing the recipe for dry brine turkey. This is a great recipe to make for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.

Dry brine is also known as salting. It means rubbing the turkey with salt and resting for 1-3 days and then roasting it. This is done to get a juicier turkey. Salt causes the meat to release moisture as the protein structure of the meat changes with salt. After releasing, meat re-absorbs the salty liquid making the meat to be more tender.

To make dry brine turkey, season the turkey with salt. Wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for 2 days. Remove the wrap a night before cooking and place it in the refrigerator again. Season it with pepper and stuff it with onions and celery. Roast it in the oven. Flip after half an hour and roast again. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve.

You can also use some rock salt instead of regular salt. Regular salt is a substitute for rock salt. Here are the other rock salt substitutes.
