Hi Fellow Pitmasters,
I thought I understood the labeling speak on turkey packaging, but the turkey I ordered from Crowd Cow showed up with the following 2 phrases on the packaging. "Minimally Processed" & "May Contain up to 6% Retained Water".
To me that says it was brined or injected, no?
I don't want to dry brine it if it already has been brined already. I'm not cooking this bird for Thanksgiving, I'm cooking it this weekend to try some different techniques/flavor profiles. Right now it is in the fridge to begin the thawing process.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
