Juiciest Turkey Brine Ever

There are so many different ways to cook a turkey. We all search for the juiciest, tastiest recipe out there. If a juicy turkey is what you are after, look to further. I have cooked turkey with this recipe a few times now and it is amazing. You all know that meat is not my strong game, so I always search for the best recipes that will help me improve my skills. Last year, I teamed up with Kikkoman to try new recipes for Thanksgiving. I am so glad I did because it has made all the difference in my Thanksgiving turkey.

This recipe comes to you from the Kikkoman company. I never realized how versatile soy sauce can be until I tried it. I guarantee, you will be pleased with the results, if juicy turkey is what you seek. Also, it is so easy!
