I love a brined turkey. When you think about cooking any poultry for more than two hours, you definitely want a bird that was packed in a saline solution or brined yourself. Never again will you have a dry turkey. The osmosis will make your bird tender and juicy. This recipe is good for turkeys between 12 and 22 pounds. Roast as desired.
2 quarts water
2 cups kosher salt
1 cup white sugar
2 gallons cold water
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, or more to taste
3 sprigs fresh thyme, or more to taste
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
