Last year for Thanksgiving I was lucky enough to be chosen to host a Kikkoman sponsored Houseparty called Brine A Juicy Bird! They sent me lots of goodies included their soy sauce, which I have grown up using, along with recipes for delicious Thanksgiving creations. We decided “what the heck let’s try it!” and made a Soy Sauce Brined Turkey for our Thanksgiving meal. And guess what?! It was AMAZING! Tender, juicy, flavorful, and delicious! I love cooking my turkey this way now and it is so easy- who knew?!

We used a cooler for the brining. 
Add the rinsed turkey to the brining mixture and let sit in the fridge overnight. 
Remove turkey from brine, rinsing well. 
Pat dry then rub butter in thick layers all over and under the skin.
Rub on seasonings all over.
Stuff with onion and garlic.
Place on a roasting rack inside a large baking pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for 3 1/2 hrs {for a 12lb turkey}.
Tent with foil 1/2 way through.
 
Remove from oven, carve, and serve. 
Now that’s one good lookin’ Thanksgiving plate!
Thanks Kikkoman for the goodies! We had a fun Houseparty.
