How to make a smoked turkey breast brine recipe image

A brine for a turkey breast that's easy to make and delicious. Make this turkey brine for smoking for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter.

Provided by Anne-Marie Nichols

Total Time 8 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 3 hours

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 cups apple cider
3/4 cup Holland House Sake Cooking Wine
1/4 cup Nakano All Natural Rice Vinegar
1/2 cup sorghum syrup
3/4 cup kosher salt
12 fresh sage leaves
2 fresh rosemary sprigs
1 bunch fresh chives
3 fresh lemon thyme sprigs
2 1-inch pieces of ginger, peeled
4 cups ice cubes
1 6-pound bone-in turkey breast

Steps:

  • Bring cider, cooking wine, and next 8 ingredients to a boil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until salt and sorghum are dissolved. Remove pot from heat, stir in ice. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Place turkey in the brine. (Brine should mostly cover turkey. If it doesn’t, find a smaller pot. If the turkey still isn’t fully covered, you’ll need to turn it over in the brine about halfway through the process.) Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 5 to 12 hours. (Do not over brine your turkey or you’ll end up with salty meat!)
  • Prepare your smoker according to the manufacturer's directions, bringing the internal temperature to 225 degrees F using your favorite type of wood chips.
  • Remove the turkey breast from the brine. Pat dry with paper towels. Place turkey low in the smoker and cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 165 to 170 degrees F.
  • Remove cooked turkey breast, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let stand 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
