Ingredients
- 2 cups table salt
- 2 gallons water divided
Instructions
- In a large pot, dissolve salt in 2 quarts of the water.
- In your brining container, combine the brine concentrate with the remaining water (1 gallon and 2 quarts).
- Submerge turkey in bring solution.
- Let soak for about 12 hours. Overnight is fine.
- Rinse the turkey thoroughly before seasoning and cooking.
Notes
- If you need more liquid to cover your turkey, add water until it is submerged.
- Note that the nutrition facts are for only the brine and are not going to be accurate or included for a cooked turkey.
- You can find my recipe for Oven Roasted Turkey and Smoked Turkey Breast at these links!
- Always remember to let your turkey rest after cooking. This helps redistribute juices, making for a moist and flavorful bird.
