Apple cider vinegar in roasting pan
I am smoking a turkey and don’t have broth to use in the base of the roasting pan. The turkey was brined over night.
I was thinking of putting the turkey on a bed of celery and carrots with 3 cups of water and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Is this a good idea or is this too much vinegar?
Best Answer
If you don't have any turkey, chicken, or vegetable stock or bouillon on hand, I would recommend using all water. That said, without stock or dissolved bouillon, your vegetables will not get the added extra flavor.
I would recommend adding a small amount of salt and/or other seasonings to the water so the vegetables won't be bland. E.g. of others, white or black pepper, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, or a spice blend like Mrs. Dash. Go light, as you can always add more later.
As others have commented, one cup is a huge amount of vinegar. And even a small amount of vinegar is likely to give the turkey an off taste and definitely will hurt the taste of the vegetables.

Answer 2
Use purchased or homemade chicken stock in lieu of what liquids (water and or turkey stock) the recipe calls for.
Cider and other vinegars are likely to give the turkey an undesireable taste/flavor.
