Turkey Brining
Prep
Total
Yield 2 gallons
Use this recipe even for a last-minute brine! You won't regret it. Also, reserve a portion of your brine and add any other poultry (chicken, duck) that you have for use later in the week. If kept at the proper temp (with ice or in the fridge) there is no point in wasting this liquid gold!
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except the herbs in a pot. Begin to heat and stir until sugar and salt are clearly dissolved.
- Cut the heat and add the herbs for 3 minutes.
- Pour the warm liquid (including herbs) into your target brining container, and then add the ice.
- Add the turkey and brine for 24-48 hours. Add more ice (or freezer packs) as needed to maintain temperatures below 40 F.
