Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat and cover.

Allow to cool completely, then pour into a large brining bag or pot. Place uncooked turkey in brine solution, then refrigerate for 16 to 24 hours.

When ready to roast turkey, remove turkey from brine. Submerge turkey in a pot or sink of fresh, cold water. Allow to sit in clean water for 15 minutes to remove excess salt from the outside.

Discard brine. Remove turkey from clean water, pat dry, and cook according to your normal roasting method.

Personal Notes:
I USE A NEW 5 GALLON BUCKET TO PLACE MY TURKEY INTO THE COOLED, COOKED, BRINE MIXTURE. I WRITE ON THE SIDE OF THE BUCKET "TURKEY BRINE ONLY" SO RICH DOESN'T USE IT TO MIX GAS OR OIL OR SOME YUCKY STUFF. I KEEP THIS BUCKET FROM YEAR TO YEAR.
