Brining involves soaking a turkey in a very salty solution, which results in incredibly juicy, flavorful meat. Here's how to do it.

Provided by Ree Drummond

Categories     Thanksgiving    comfort food    meat    poultry

Total Time 25 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 c.

apple juice or apple cider

2

gallons cold water

4 tbsp.

fresh rosemary leaves

5

cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 c.

kosher salt

2 c.

brown sugar

3 tbsp.

peppercorns

5

whole bay leaves

Peel of three large oranges

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve. Turn off heat, cover and allow the brine to cool completely.  Place the uncooked turkey in a large brining bag or pot, pour in the brine solution to cover the turkey, and refrigerate for 16 to 24 hours.  Before roasting, remove the turkey from the brine (discard the brine) and submerge the turkey in a pot or sink filled with fresh, cold water for 15 minutes. This removes excess salt from the outside.  Remove the turkey from the water, pat dry, and cook according to your normal roasting method.

Total Time 24 hours

Prep Time 24 hours

Yield 32 cups (approx)

Number Of Ingredients 7

32 cups warm water (2 gallons)

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 whole turkey (up to 20 pounds)

Steps:

  • In a large bucket or container mix together the warm water with brown sugar and salt; stir until NO kosher salt and sugar granules remain in the water (make certain to use very warm water so that the salt and suagr will dissolve easily and completely).
  • Add in Worcestershire sauce, peppercorns, and garlic; stir until the Worcestershire sauce is combined.
  • Cool the water until almost room temperature.
  • Wash the turkey inside and out with cold water, then place in the brine (if the brine does not quite cover the turkey, then place it breast-side up to start, then turn it over after a couple of hours later).
  • Place in refrigerator for 24 hours,.
  • Remove the turkey from the brine and rinse the turkey THOROUGHLY under cold running water.
  • Pat dry with paper towels then cover and refrigerate if not preparing right away or continue with my turkey recipe (#199612).
