I did the same sort of brine this year.  Salt, lemon, thyme, oregano, rosemary, onions.  He looks nice and plump this morning.  Going in the oven in about an hour.

Making the Gravy from homemade stock, sweet potatoes with crunchy pecan topping also in the pic...



Carving of the bird



This is the first time I've roasted a whole turkey, was worried at first as I cooked it by internal temperature and not time.
Followed the advice of Alton Brown and he did not let me down.
