The title is of a drowning turkey. Poor turkey. Poor delicious turkey.

Got a question about brining, but feel free to chime in about special recipies you have for good ole turkey day.

Can I use chicken broth for the brine instead of just a saltwater solution? I recall watching Alton Brown during my starving college days, and I remember him saying something about using broth instead of water for more flavor. I can't remember if he was talking about brine though.

Thoughts?

Apple cider vinegar added to the salt water. It tenderizes and makes the skin crisp up real well.

Don't remember but you can get the recipe on the FoodNetwork site.
