Plainville vs. Bell and Evans Turkeys - Which One?
I am hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year. I am planning to order a fresh turkey. I called the local shop that I'd like to use and they sell Plainville and Bell and Evans. The Plainville I can order already brined or I can get the Bell and Evans and brine it ourselves (most likely with the Alton Brown brine recipe). Both brands are priced the same. I'd rather not brine the turkey ourselves for the extra effort it entails but after reading the following article, the Bell and Evans seems to be rated much higher than the Plainville. Any input you can provide??
TIA!!

I buy Bell and Evans chicken and it's really good. I've never brined a turkey though when I make it. I just season the outside and use butter.

I've only cooked Bell & Evans, never brine it but always comes out good.
