Why Brine Your Poultry?

Poultry can be challenging to cook perfectly.

Turkey breasts and chicken breasts are naturally lean, which means they can lose moisture when exposed to prolonged cooking temperatures.

Brining helps address this challenge.

As poultry rests in a properly prepared saltwater solution, salt influences the proteins in the meat, helping them retain moisture during cooking.

The result can be poultry that's juicier, more flavorful and more forgiving during roasting, grilling or smoking.

But Pawpa Flavor doesn't stop with salt and water.

Our Fizzing Poultry Brine introduces garlic, citrus, peppercorns and a full complement of savory herbs to create a rich flavor foundation.

And then there's the fizz!

The effervescent reaction makes preparation distinctive and fun. While the salt-based brining process provides the established moisture-retention benefits, the fizz adds the signature Pawpa Flavor experience.

Better flavor starts before the bird ever reaches the grill, smoker or oven!

Pawpa Bear's Fizzing Thanksgiving Turkey

Golden Skin. Juicy Meat. Savory Herbs. A Thanksgiving Turkey Worth Remembering!

A great holiday turkey begins long before it goes into the oven.

This recipe combines the signature flavors of Fizzing Poultry Brine with a buttery, herb-seasoned finish.

Ingredients

• 1 fully thawed turkey, up to 18 pounds

• 1 package Pawpa Flavor Fizzing Poultry Brine, including the separate "The Fizz" components

• 1 gallon water or unsalted chicken or vegetable stock for dissolving the seasoning

• Up to 1 gallon additional chilled water, plus ice as needed, according to package directions

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

• 1–2 tablespoons Pawpa Flavor Rosemary Garlic Seasoning, or to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Fresh rosemary and thyme, optional

Directions

Prepare the Brine

1. Select a clean, food-grade, nonreactive container large enough to submerge the turkey and fit inside a refrigerator or other temperature-controlled food-safe brining setup.

2. Remove the turkey's giblets and neck, if present. Do not wash the raw turkey.

3. Set aside the separate "The Fizz" components.

4. Combine the main brine seasoning with 1 gallon of water or unsalted stock in a large pot.

5. Heat gently, stirring frequently, until the salt and sugar dissolve.

6. Cool the liquid promptly and completely before adding it to the poultry. Use an ice bath or refrigeration to accelerate cooling.

7. Following the product's preparation directions, add the separate fizzing components to the clean brining container and combine with the cooled seasoning solution.

8. Add chilled water and ice as directed, ensuring the final solution is at 40°F or below before the turkey is submerged.

9. Place the turkey in the brine, ensuring it is fully submerged.

10. Refrigerate at 40°F or below throughout brining. Follow the validated product instructions for the appropriate duration based on turkey size and whether it has already been salted or enhanced.

Prepare the Turkey

1. Remove the turkey from the brine and discard the used solution.

2. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Do not rinse raw poultry under running water.

3. Gently loosen the skin over the breast and spread softened unsalted butter beneath it.

4. Lightly coat the outside of the turkey with olive oil.

5. Season with Rosemary Garlic, adjusting the amount because the turkey has already been brined.

6. Add fresh rosemary or thyme if desired.

Roast the Turkey

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F or higher.

2. Place the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan.

3. Roast until a food thermometer registers at least 165°F in the thickest part of the breast, innermost thigh and innermost wing, without touching bone.

4. If stuffing is cooked inside the turkey, its center must also reach 165°F.

5. Allow the turkey to rest before carving.

Pawpa Bear's Tip: For an incredible finishing flavor, gently work butter beneath the breast skin and season the outside with Rosemary Garlic or Mama Mia Italian Seasoning. The brine builds the foundation, while the finishing seasoning creates another layer of flavor.
