Apple-Brined Turkey With Garlic Herb Butter

This is my absolute favorite method of turkey-ing. Of all the methods I've tried, nothing beats brining. The turkey is so moist and flavorful that it really stands alone, but who wouldn't want to throw a stick of deliciously flavored butter in there somehow? And is that a chunk of breast meat missing from the bird? I can't imagine how that happened (eyes cast innocently skyward).
