I'ma pick up the turkey Wednesday at noon, and put it in the cooler covered with ice. Then, Thursday afternoon, I'll put it in the brine and refrigerate. Saturday morning the cooking will start. Sounds like a plan.
Doing Gordon Ramsay's duck recipe. Always delicious. Leaves me with nice duck fat for fries and potatoes later.
Also making sausage apple dressing and four kinds of potatoes (mashed, roasted, fried, and twice baked).
Apple, pumpkin, and blueberry pies, too.
Other stuff, too. I am excite.

I have to remove shelves and move shit all around last year when I did it. I don't have a big fridge, though.

I just keep it in a bucket out in the cold garage. Dump all the ice out of the icemaker into the bucket, stays plenty cold for 2 days usually. If not, add more ice the next day. Helps that I live in a colder climate obviously.
If it was unseasonably warm I suppose I could make room in the beer fridge (kegarator).

One of the places I do some work at has a totally empty fridge. That's where it goes. It's glorious. I have unlimited access to six fridges and five ovens, all within five miles. It's glorious.

One of the best bags for brining would be the super large ziploc bags reserved for toys n things. Ziploc has stated that it's food safe (and lots of ppl use it for brining) since it's really super thick and won't leak.

AB has said you can place the turkey in a brine, in a clean bucket in a cool garage like place. I err on the side of caution and just put it in the fridge.

I've always used my 6qt pressure cooker, just enough to fit a 20lb turkey (the leg tips do stick out).

universal brand works with any vac
Amazon.com: Two Rolls of 11 Dining
and best value, i like the rolls for big meats.
if you want baggies, for quick vac, i use the ziploc (sous vide safe)
Amazon.com: Ziploc Vacuum Starter Kit, 3-Quart Bags, 1-Pump: Health Personal Care
the pump is nice, easy to clean and disassemble if you suck up a bit of juice. The bags last, almost at random, i have one bag that i swore i've reused 20x, and new bags only have 1 use.
