Recipe Introduction


From About.com - http://bbq.about.com/od/turkeybrinerecipes/r/bl71116d.htm


List of Ingredients




2 quarts vegetable stock
1/2 cup salt (3/4 cup Kosher or coarse salt)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 quarts cold water

Recipe



In a large pot combine vegetable stock, salt, sugar, and herbs over a medium heat.

Simmer for about 15 minutes until the salt is completely dissolved.

Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Add cold water.

Place turkey in a large plastic container.

Pour brine over top of bird making sure to cover completely, cover and refrigerate.

Brine for 1 hour per pound.

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

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