Where should one brine a turkey when refridgerator space is tight?

If you live in the right climate (i.e. Minnesota), outside is a refrigerator! We just stick things in the snow outside ;)

Hi Kate, if you don't have space in your fridge for a large pot, you can brine your turkey in a large oven roasting bag or jumbo zip-top bag, which allows you to surround the bird with liquid without needing a cumbersome vat. Do not use a trash bag (they aren't food-safe). For an added insurance policy against potential leaks (and if you have the space), put the bagged, brining turkey in the roasting pan you plan to use. Hope this helps—happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Kate, finding out an answer and will be back to you shortly!
