Brining Turkey

How do you brine burkey? --Juanita
Hi Juanita! Brining a turkey is not difficult--as long as you have the space in the refrigerator to do it!  EatTurkey.com, the website of the National Turkey Federation, has some excellent instructions at their  Brined Roasted Turkey recipe. You can go ahead and roast the turkey using their recipe, or for a little variety, try one of my roasted turkey recipes, like New England Turkey, Holiday Stuffed Turkey, and Turkey & Stuffing.

    I would like a really good recipe for wheat flour bread or rolls. One that is fairly easy but makes a bread almost like a white flour bread--if that is possible or makes any sense. Most recipes I try, the bread comes out heavy. Can you help? Thank you in advance for either a recipe or any suggestions you might have. --Linda

    Hi! Do you have any tips on how to properly bake pies? The problem I’m having is that though the top crust is nice and golden, the bottom crust stays soft. How can I make both the top and bottom pie crust perfect?
