SO YOUR MARINATE YOUR TURKEY?!
When my sister first got married (35 years ago) and was hosting her first Thanksgiving, her hairdresser asked her if she would marinate her turkey. "Marinate a turkey?" was her response! We have never done that. And 35 years later, we would only cook a turkey if we prepared the turkey the night before with this marinade. We have found, it truly helps make the moistest turkey we ever had! Bon Apetit!
