brining turkey breast
What is the least amount of time I can brine a turkey breast. I have two of them. Do you use Kosher or regular salt. Is the ratio 2 to 1. Do I need to put all those herbs and stuff? Thanks for any help you can give. It's my first time doing this "brining thing". Sounds like a good idea though.

You can brine for as little as a few hours, it will still help. You can actually over-brine, and the salt will suck the moisture right out instead of adding to the juicy goodness. I go with overnight. You can use some herbs, but it is not necessary. Do keep in mind that if you use your drippings to make gravy it will be saltier than ususal.
