To Brine or Not to Brine?

Every year we get calls from great customers who've cooked noteworthy meals for their families using our Shelton's Turkeys and Chickens.  We are always asked if that home chef should Brine their bird or not.  While we've had it both ways, why not!  Here are some great ideas for brining your bird.
