There are brining bags for turkeys. The link is in the entry.

I’ve always used bags to marinate chicken. However with turkey it’s another matter. I’d need to use a little tub to cure this poultry.

Can I share a tip?

When you make a marinade, (in this case, for chicken) make enough for 2 or more batches. then put them all in the fridge for the flavors to penetrate.

Then, when you’re off to cook one batch, store the other batches in the freezer. That way, when you need to cook, all you have to do is defrost.

Make sure though, that you double-wrap your bags which contain wet marinades–liquids expand in when frozen, right?

Ciao!

I hope so too, Dexie. Otherwise, the turkey will take up so much space in the fridge while brining.

I love ziploc bags. With kids and my craft hobbies, they come very handy. And of course in the kitchen as well. Ziploc bags are great for frosting cupcakes, cakes, etc, too. If you don’t have the piping bags anyway. Just put the frosting inside, zip it, making sure all the air is out of course, then cut a small opening in bottom, just one of them .
Then just hold it like a piping bag.

Hope you find the ones you need for you turkey
