I may have to use the cooler option. My fridge and freezer aren’t very big

She puts lots of ice in it but the turkey is in the brining bag. It’s cool enough this time of year that’s it’s not a big issue. Don’t brine more than 24 hours, it gets gross.

If the outside temp is cold enough <40F (but not too cold) you can put it outside in the cooler, so you don't have to change the ice. I've used a 5 gal bucket out on my porch before instead of a cooler.
