If you plan on using a brine and you want a simple recipe that will make your turkey especially delicious, here you go...
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 gallon water or enough to completely cover the bird
Few peeled cloves of garlic
Sprigs of rosemary, sage & thyme
Dissolve salt in a cold or room temperature water, add the sugar and mix throughly.
Add the herbs.
Allow to set overnight in the fridge or in an ice chest cooler (with ice)
When ready to roast, remove the turkey and throughly rinse off all the brine.
That’s it.
