A easy to prepare brine to enhance the flavor and retain the moisture when preparing turkey, as well as other types of poultry.
Directions
  • Combine the sugar, salt and 4 quarts of water in a large bowl and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients.
  • Place the turkey in the stockpot and add the brining solution. Add enough cold water to the stockpot so that the turkey is completely submerged.
  • Cover the container and place in the refrigerator or another cold storage area. Allow the turkey to stand in the brining solution for about 10 to 12 hours.
  • After the required soaking time, remove it from the container and thoroughly rinse under cold water. The brining solution should be discarded because it cannot be reused.
  • The turkey can be cooked using several cooking methods, such as roasting, grilling and deep frying.
