Recipe Introduction


From About.com - http://bbq.about.com/od/turkeybrinerecipes/r/bl71116b.htm


List of Ingredients




1 gallon water
1 cup salt (1 1/2 cups Kosher or coarse salt)
1 lemon
1 orange
1 onion, cut into thick slices
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 bay leaves
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Recipe



Take two cups of the water and place in a saucepan.

Bring to a low boil.

Add salt and stir to dissolve.

Pour into a large pot.

Cut lemon and orange into 1/8ths.

Squeeze juice into pot and drop in citrus pieces.

Add all remaining ingredients.

Keep refrigerated until you are ready to use.

Place poultry and brine in a large plastic container making sure to cover bird completely.

Keep refrigerated.

Brine for 1 hour per pound.

Thoroughly rinse all the brine from the turkey before cooking. (Otherwise the turkey will be to salty.)

Donna's Note: You will need to double the ingredients as it takes about 2 gallons of brine for an average size turkey.
