I’m a pretty big believer in brining turkeys to help keep the turkey moist and well seasoned. 

Chao is Vietnamese rice porridge or you may know it as also by its Chinese counterpart, Congee (typically eaten in China as a breakfast meal ❤️). In Vietnam chao is not only a common breakfast meal but it’s also a popular lunch and dinner as well. Since it’s considered as the poor’s mans’ food, Cháo, won’t be found at your local American Vietnamese restaruants. At home it can be cooked fancier when cooked with a variety of specialty meats- this can include Cháo Vịt (duck porridge) and Cháo Cá (fish porridge).
