Como fazer Great Turkey Brine For A Moist Juicy Bird

  1. In a large food-grade 5-gallon bucket, combine 1 cup kosher salt (or 1/2 cup table salt), 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of white wine (or cider/apple juice), 2 tablespoons dried thyme, 1 tablespoon dried sage, 1 tablespoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 1 teaspoon crushed bay leaves.
  2. Stir the mixture vigorously until the salt completely dissolves.
  3. Thoroughly rinse your thawed turkey under cold running water. Remove the neck and giblets, reserving them for another use (like gravy!).
  4. Carefully place the turkey breast-side down into the brine. Ensure all cavities are fully submerged in the brine.
  5. Cover the bucket and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours. (If your weather allows, you can store the brined turkey in a cool (38°F or lower), raccoon-proof location like a garage or enclosed porch.)
  6. Once brining is complete, remove the turkey from the brine and discard the brine. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels before cooking.
  7. Cook the turkey according to your preferred method and recipe, following package instructions for time and temperature.
