Dry brining, also known as salting, simply means rubbing the turkey down with salt, letting it rest in the refrigerator for 24 to 72 hours, and then roasting it. The salt changes the protein structure in the meat, causing it to release moisture.
What is better dry or wet brine?
The turkey only picks up salt and water from the wet brine, which means any flavor impact from aromatics is minimal. A dry brine, however, imparts far more flavor directly into the meat because of the close contact between the spice mixture and turkey meat. The flavor is much richer and more intense.
What does dry brine do to meat?
Tenderizes. The salt naturally permeates the beef and breaks down the muscle proteins, tenderizing the steak cut in the process. Moisture is locked into the steak, resulting in a juicy, tender steak.
