     Best Turkey Brine

Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   Holiday Dish

Ingredients
2.5 gallons cold water
2 C kosher salt
1 C sugar
2 Bay leaves torn into pieces
1 bunch fresh thyme or 4 T dried
1 whole head of garlic, cloves separated and peeled
3 whole allspice berries, crushed
4 juniper berries, smashed
 

Instructions
Place the water in a large nonreactive pot that can easily hold the liquid and the turkey. Add all the ingredients and stir for a minute or two until the sugar and salt disolve.
Put the turkey into the brine and refrigerate 24 hours. If turkey floats to the top, weight it down with a plate and cans to keep it completely submerged.
You may half or double this recipe. The important thing is to prepare enough brine to cover the turkey completely.
To roast: Remove the bird from the brine, rinse and drain well. Pat dry.
Serving Suggestions
Thanksgiving
