How to Brine a Turkey: What's Your Favorite Recipe?

I can remember when I first wondered how to brine a turkey. Well, I dove right in, and since then, we’ve brined turkeys now each year for Thanksgiving. In fact, we’ve brined, injected, basted and smoked over 20 turkeys all told!

That said… we’re always looking for new brine recipes for Turkey, and Pork for that matter.

I am doing a brine this year and roasting, I have a 10 lb turkey, and my brine is going to be salt, brown sugar, rosemary sage, onion garlic, ginger. Thyme, and going to roast it in 500 for 30 mins. cover the turkey in foil, bake it til 180 reads. So about 1 hour 45 . If you brine you don’t need to baste the bird.
