I got a breast in anticipation of us doing a family of four thanksgiving due to Rona

Who’s got the real talk on brining? I’ve been seeing a premade brine at Publix
I’ve done the salt and sugar water thing before Is it even worth it?
I plan on roasting on BGE listening to tunes on the Bose while drinking snooty IPA’s out of my backup Yeti here in Mt Privilege of that helps at all
Anyone ever used a store bought gravy? Mrs Fluff admits her from scratch gravy is no good

We call white gravy milk gravy. Some people make it without milk, don't ask me why.

Heck ya its worth it. You should add some rosemary to your brine. I brine almost everything and it make a big different in juiciness and tenderness. I never use sugar just salt and spices depending on what you are brining.

Gravy is super easy to make.

You don't even need actual drippings if you just want to whip some up real quick. Make a roux (melt butter or animal fat and mix in flour), add chicken stock, and whisk. Add salt, pepper, whatever seasonings and that's it.

I am not a big fan of brown gravy but wife makes hers with turkey juice, boiled eggs, turkey liver and flour. My dogs like the brown gravy packs from ALDI. We put it in their food.

It's not a real brine if you don't use actual sea water

butt fore reels, most turkeys are sitting in a brine inside that plastic packaging. I will dry brine, spatchcock, smoke for about 7 hours to 165 degrees, ???????, profit.
Turkey gravy is easy to make from scratch, do not buy store packets. I di what Murcielago does, but I do add pan drippings.
And lastly, I would be cautious to take this opinion to heart, you can see what the Brine Bros did to Murc. Poor dude is not the same anymore

Not planning to try that this Thursday but it’s definitely going on the list.
Side note: I’ve really been enjoying the Recteq Thanksgrilling series and all their videos in general.

I do a lot of turkey breasts throughout the year at casa de wildblu. Why pay $10/lb for deli when $10 can knock out a 6-7 pound breast?
Copious amounts of salt, peppercorns, and rosemary generally do the trick as a basic approach. If it's cool enough out I just leave it outside in the pot overnight to do its thing. Breast meat dries out faster than dark meat, so brining is really critical for this cut. I only go the brown sugar or cider route as a brine add if I'm going to smoke it, which admittedly I've only done with turkey legs, which also admittedly turned out State Fair worthy.
If you seed the bottom of your roasting pan with a little water and keep it wet through cooking, you should have enough mix of that and drippings to get a base for a very decent gravy. Whisk some flour in warm water, add in, then copious pepper, salt, and chicken broth - voila!
