Brining turkeys is 'normal' in America for thanksgiving. I have been there twice and seen it done. They add ice(bought from supermarket) to make sure it keeps fresh. The result is deliciously moist and tasty! I am doing it this year. Have bought a big plastic box to do it in!!! We can compare notes afterwards?!
