Most everyone loves the taste of this salty-sweet cranberry turkey brine. I've been using brine for years when making turkey and chicken. After trying a number of recipes, I finally settled on this one — a combination of my three favorite recipes with all the wonderful flavors of Thanksgiving.

Brining a turkey makes for a juicier bird, and this brine — with sage, celery seed, thyme, and soy sauce — brings plenty of flavor too.

This comforting and creamy slow-cooker soup is loaded with earthy, umami flavor from a mix of fresh and dried mushrooms. Garnish with additional black pepper and chopped fresh thyme, if desired.

This turkey is incredibly moist and delicious. Even after heating up leftovers days later, the meat is still so tender, moist, and delicious. I make this primarily for Thanksgiving and have gotten nothing less than rave reviews every time! You can substitute turkey broth for chicken broth in the brine for this recipe. Brining also cuts down the cooking time.

Prepare yourself for a juicy flavor kiss with this turkey brine! Brining is a popular method for improving the flavor and moisture content of lean meats like chicken, turkey, pork, and seafood. Enjoy the juiciest and most flavorful turkey you'll ever eat.
