Instructions
Step 1
Bring salt, sugar, and 4 cups water to a boil in a very large (16-qt.) pot, stirring until salt and sugar are dissolved.
Step 2
Turn off heat. Add remaining ingredients to brine base. Refrigerate, uncovered, until cold.
Step 3
While brine is chilling: prep turkey by cleaning and gently loosen skin on top of turkey to form pockets.
Step 4
Add brine mixture and enough cold water to cover turkey in a pot or bag. Add turkey without gizzard bag (leave neck and any other loose pieces). Cover; chill in fridge for up to 72 hours. (The turkey will be moister and more flavorful if allowed to brine the full 72 hours.)
