Dry brine your turkey on Tuesday or Wednesday this year to enhance the texture and flavor.

I mix my dry brine ahead of time and keep it in a jar in my kitchen so it’s ready to use the moment I pick up my turkey.

The full recipe for this salty, slightly sweet, and flavorful dry brine was sent in my Thanksgiving Favorites newsletter — check your inbox!

If you need an additional copy, comment Lynda’s Dry Brine now and I’ll send it to you. Fill your turkey with moisture and flavor!

Santa Fe New Mexico’s thriving culinary scene is a vivid tapestry—where time-honored southwest flavors meet international techniques.

Thank you Bishops Lodge for the hospitality and world class coordination.

We can’t wait to come back for the art, culture, history, hiking, and of course the tequilla and roasted chiles!

And Chef Mark Kiffin— we will definitely do a Just Add Salt & Compound event together!
