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.
