Speaking with an old timer about turkey hunting over a fresh pull of corn liquor, he tells the story of a place called Gobbler Hollow. A hidden honey-hole nestled in the Northern Appalachian foothills of Western Pennsylvania. “WE HAD TOMS WITH BEARDS LIKE AXEMEN AND SPURS THAT COULD TAME THE WILDEST STALLIONS IN TEXAS.” Named in its honor, Gobbler Hollow Bird Brine incorporates our time-tested recipe to bring forth unforgettable flavor and unmatched tenderness. With the quality you’ve come to expect from Tacticalories, Gobbler Hollow will forever set the standard for the best bird you’ve eaten.

BRINING INSTRUCTIONS

Now, if the thought of "brining" a turkey is intimidating to you, forget it. It's easy breezy... we do all the hard work.

THANKSGIVING TURKEY: Mix entire brine mix bag into 1 gallon of ice water and 1 gallon of cold apple cider (apple juice is an acceptable replacement) for 2 gallons total mix. Mix well (3-5 minutes). Place brine bag inside of clean 5 gallon bucket for stability. Place fully thawed bird in bag, breasts side down. Slowly pour brine/liquid mix over bird to fully cover. Allow the bird to soak for at least 12 hours in brine, but no less than 1 hour per lb. Prior to cooking, wash off brine, pat dry. Rub with Tacticalories seasoning and smoke, bake, fry or grill. The meat will be so moist and juicy, you’ll be gobblin' up a storm!

CHICKEN: Mix 1 LEVEL CUP of brine mix bag into 1/2 gallon of ice water and 1/2 gallon of cold apple cider. Mix well. Place brine bag inside of clean 5 gallon bucket for stability. Place fully thawed bird in bag, breasts side down. Slowly pour brine/liquid mix over bird to fully cover. Allow the bird to soak for at least 12 hours in brine, but no less than 1 hour per lb. Prior to cooking, wash off brine, pat dry. Rub with Tacticalories seasoning and smoke, bake, fry or grill. 

FOR BEST RESULTS: Bring water and cider to boil, add brine mix and mix well for super saturation. Allow brine/liquid mix to cool completely in refrigerator before pouring over bird. 

TO USE AS DRY BRINE - Dry bird breasts or thighs and apply a thick covering of the dry brine mix. Allow to rest in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Wipe or wash off access brine and rub with Tacticalories seasoning and smoke, bake, fry or grill.
