It was so tender, I almost didn't get it flipped, the meat was falling off the bone. The wings fell off, the legs were almost off. Hubby had to wrap the bird in a towel to flip it. We couldn't carve it, it was too tender. We just pulled the meat off with fingers. I used a fork to cut it on my plate. ~ Jodief100 said on BackyardHerds.com after using this recipe for her family's Thanksgiving dinner (Jodie cooked her bird breast side down) *find this Brine and Roasting recipe in By Request: Secrets from Em's Kitchen (ebook) and in Secrets from Em's Kitchen (print)
