Brining Turkey Early

Posted by happymeals, November 25, 2008

Hi. I put the turkey in the brine 2 hours ago. I then realized I did it a day early. So, I would like to know:
1. Should I leave it in the brine, take it out in 24 and then pat dry and keep in frig til we Deep Fry it on Thursday (22 hrs later) or
2. Take turkey out of brine, pat dry, hold in frig and bring brine to boil and then chill and use it to brine the turkey on Wed? I"ve a ton of lemons, oranges and aromatics in there.

Thanks for your help. I'm cooking my first Thanksgiving for both husband and my families!!
