Directions: |
Directions:1. Peel the rosemary off of the steam and dice a few of them to get the oils from the leaves.
2. Add all the ingredients to a large saucepan and bring it to a boil. This allows all the sugars and salts to combine and dissolve.
3. Allow it to cool.
4. Add the defrosted turkey or fresh turkey to a large poultry bag or cooler and add the cooled turkey brine mixture.
5. Add a bag of ice over the turkey to allow it to stay cool for the next 12+ hours. Or put your poultry bag in the refrigerator if you have room. NO LONGER than 12 hours or will be rubbery!
6. For each pound of meat you should refrigerate it for one hour. For example, if you have a 12 lb. turkey, you need to refrigerate this for 12 hours. Add ice to the cooler if needed.
7. Remove the turkey from the brine recipe and bake it.
8. Bake turkey @ 350° F 15 minutes per pound
20 lb. turkey should take 5 hours |
