Showtime Rotisserie Turkey Breast Recipe

by

UPDATE!! I have added a few things to the brine to give it a bit more flavor!

I want to say right off the bat that I am not a big turkey fan but this recipe and the way I prepare it, make it very tasty. The main part of of this recipe is the brine. After you brine it you can cook the turkey whatever way you want. If you have never brined a turkey or chicken or whatever, the brine makes the meat super moist and juicy. Now the way you cook the turkey, like I said, is up to you. Now that said, I know you are going to laugh at me for this, but I use my Ronco Rotisserie to cook the turkey each year. I’m not as fortunate as some awesome people to have a double oven so this is my way to keep the oven from being monopolized by a huge turkey. The oven can be used for other things like rolls and scrumptious apple pies.

Rotisserie Turkey RecipeFor this recipe, which we’ve coined The Ronco Rotisserie Turkey, we used simple dry brine and cooked it in our 5500 Series Showtime Rotisserie for about 2 ½ hours. The result was a deliciously seasoned, moist, yet crispy Thanksgiving masterpiece. Dry brining works by opening the pores of the meat, allowing the natural juices to make the meat more moist, while crisping up the skin. I personally prefer a dry brine to wet because of the results and simplicity. A dry brine is typically 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per pound of meat and any other seasonings you may want to add. However, salt alone does the trick as well. The following recipe is what I used. Feel free to mix it up with your favorite seasonings. DO NOT use a dry brine on a Kosher Turkey. Kosher Turkeys have been pre-salted and will result in an overly salted bird.
