[quote=Anonymous]You don't need to brine the turkey.  Premix 2 tb salt and 1 tsp each of pepper, thyme, rosemary, sage tomorrow in a bowl.  Put 2 sticks of celery and 1/2 onion in a pot with water. Don't bother cutting them up.

Put the turkey in the sink and cut open the bag. Remove and rinse the gizzards and stick them in the above pot. Then rinse the turkey- I cut off the extra fat like the tail. Put it in the pan.

Then add some of the seasoning mix to the pot and rub the rest on the turkey inside and out.  [I wear a baggie on my hand and pre-mix the stuff in a bowl.] I also put an apple inside.  Pour a bottle of beer in the pan-cover it and stick it covered in the oven at 350.

The pot is the gravy and just boil it then simmer for 1.5 hours. add bouillion. Then pour it into a bowl while straining with a colander.  Beat in flour with a whisk to thicken it.

Stuffing-chop up the rest f the onion and some celery.  If you don't like onion and celery omit them.  Rip up bread and toast it on a cookie sheet. My kids always did the ripping when young.  Melt butter [or use it in the an when you cook the onion and celery].   Add bouillion and an egg to the bread.  Bake at 350 for an hour in a pie plate.

Or you can make the basic bread, seasoning, egg and put it in cupcake papers for baking.
