The Best Turkey Brine Recipe

salt

dark brown sugar

vegetable stock (chicken stock or turkey stock)

black peppercorns

allspice berries

garlic

heavily iced water

Combine the vegetable stock, salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, allspice berries, and garlic cloves in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Stir to combine and bring mixture to a boil. Let boil for 2 minutes and then remove the brine from the heat.

Cool the brine and then combine the brine mixture and iced water together in an extra large pot or 5-gallon bucket (if you have the room in your fridge).

Place the thawed turkey breast side down in the brine. If necessary, weigh down the bird with something heavy to ensure it is fully immersed in the brine.

Cover and refrigerate the turkey for 6 to 8 hours, turning the bird once halfway through brining.
