Brine seasonings


Basic Brine:
Dissolve 1 cup table salt or 2 cups kosher salt in 2 gallons of cold water in a large stock pot or clean, food safe bucket.

After you immerse the turkey in the brine, you can add any seasonings and flavors and allow it to brine for 12 to 24 hours.

I mostly use this seasoning:
Traditional Turkey Brine Seasoning

1 to 2 tablespoons of each:
Garlic powder
Onion Powder
Celery seed, ground
Sage
Thyme
Fresh ground black pepper

After the turkey is brined, you should rinse it off and dry it with a clean cloth. You can coat the skin with soft butter before roasting. Roast at 400 degrees F for 35 minutes then reduce the heat to 350 degrees for the remaining roasting time.
