Ingredients
Directions
To Use Brine:
Pour cooled brine into a non-reactive container large enough to hold your turkey. (I keep a large plastic bucket just for brining.) Add your thawed turkey, then pour in enough cool water to cover turkey with liquid. Refrigerate 8 to 12 hours. Remove turkey from brine and let sit on counter for about 2 hours. Follow desired method of cooking your turkey.
