📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve. Turn off the heat, cover, and allow the brine to cool completely.
2
Place the uncooked turkey in a large brining bag or pot, pour in the brine solution to cover the turkey, and refrigerate for 16 to ⏱️ 24 hours.
3
Before roasting, remove the turkey from the brine (discard the brine) and submerge the turkey in a pot or sink filled with fresh, cold water for ⏱️ 15 minutes. This removes excess salt from the outside.
4
Remove the turkey from the water, pat very dry, and cook according to your normal roasting method.
