Ingredients
- 1 liter turkey broth
- 1 cup kosher salt
- 1½ Tablespoons dried rosemary (crushed or chopped)
- 1 Tablespoon dried sage
- 1 Tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 Tablespoon dried savory
- 16 cups ice water
Instructions
- In a large pot, Add the turkey broth, sea salt, rosemary, sage, thyme, and savory.
- Bring it to a boil, stirring often to be sure salt is completely dissolved, about 15 minutes. Remove it from the heat, and let cool to room temperature.
- When the herb brine mixture is cool, stir in the ice water.
- Dry your turkey. Make sure you have removed any innards if your turkey comes with them.
- Place the turkey into a brining bag breast side down. Pour in the brine. Make sure that the cavity gets filled as well. You can place the turkey in the brining bag in a roaster to make this easier to move. Place the turkey in the refrigerator overnight.
- Remove the turkey from the fridge and drain off all the brine. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
- Cook the turkey with your favorite roasting method.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Brined turkeys usually cook 20 to 30 minutes faster so watch the internal temperature of your turkey.
