Comment préparer Mean Chef's Apple Brine

In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups apple juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
Remove from heat and let the brine cool completely to room temperature. This prevents cooking the meat before brining.
Add 2 bay leaves, 6 whole black peppercorns, and 4 sprigs of fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme) to the cooled brine.
Submerge your 14-pound turkey (or adjust quantity for other sizes of poultry or pork) in the brine, ensuring it's fully covered. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours for extra flavor.
Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse thoroughly under cold water, and pat it completely dry before roasting or cooking according to your preferred method. Discard the brine after use.
