    Hawaiian-Style Turkey Brine


    Source of Recipe


    Donna Rollison

    Recipe Introduction


    From About.com - http://bbq.about.com/od/brinerecipes/r/bl051111d.htm

    List of Ingredients




    4 quarts pineapple juice
    2 cups brown sugar
    1 1/3 cups gf soy sauce or wheat free tamari
    1 cup light maple syrup
    1 cup salt (1 1/2 cups Kosher or coarse salt)
    6 cloves garlic, cut into halves
    4-6 whole bay leaves
    2 tablespoons red pepper, crushed

    Recipe



    Combine all ingredients.

    Place turkey in large dish or container and pour brine over bird making sure to cover it completely.

    Cover and allow to brine for 1 hour per pound.

    Because of the acid from the pineapple juice in this brine you do not want to leave your turkey in the brine for too long.

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

    Donna's Note: It takes about 2 gallons of brine for an average size turkey so the ingredients will have to be doubled.
