It’s pretty much fact at this point; brining is better. When it comes to turkey, giving the bird time to absorb the flavors of Twisted Tea in a simple brine will only result in a finished bird that’s juicer and more flavorful. Feel free to add any spices you want to the brine here, as the tea flavor plays well with almost any fall flavor!
