This deep-fried turkey brine with herbs, spices, brown sugar, and a bit of candied ginger adds incredible flavor to your Thanksgiving turkey, and it's so easy to make! This recipe comes from a dear friend of mine who's made his living as a sous chef on a luxury cruise line. When I asked him for a recipe for deep-fried turkey, this is what he shared with me. Makes enough brine for a 16-pound turkey.
