Norpro Turkey Brining Bag with Double Zipper

Brining a turkey overnight keeps the breast meat moist, but finding a container large enough for the bird and the brine is the hard part. The Norpro brining bag solves that. It holds a large holiday turkey along with its brine, closes with a double zipper, and fits on a refrigerator shelf or in a cooler packed with ice.

Set the bag in a roasting pan or a large bowl before filling it to catch any drips. Add the bird and the cooled brine, then press out the air and seal both zippers. Turn the bag once or twice during brining so every part of the turkey stays submerged.

The same bag works for chicken and pork loin, or for marinating a brisket before it goes on the smoker. After brining, rinse and dry the bird, then roast it on the Norpro adjustable roast rack and baste it with the stainless steel baster.
