I like a wet brine and the safer roasting method, so that’s the route I went this year. I used a manageable 16 pound bird which takes less time to thaw and less time to cook.

Welcome to Jeanie and Lulu’s Kitchen, a love letter to my two incredible grandmothers, both of whom I think about every time I’m in the kitchen.

Author's Notes

To roast garlic, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the outer paper layers of a head of garlic and cut the top tip off to reveal the tops of the cloves inside. Drizzle the top with a little olive oil, then wrap it in foil and roast it in the oven for an hour. Perfection, it has so many uses! It can be stored in the refrigerator for weeks, so you can make the roasted garlic well in advance of Turkey day.
