APPLE JUICE TURKEY BRINE Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Beefman-2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 gallon apple juice, chilled
1 cup Kosher Salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in a non-reactive container until dissolved. If you are using a salt other than Diamond Crystal Kosher salt, substitute 3/4 cup Morton Kosher Salt, or 1/2 cup pickling salt, or 1/2 cup of non-iodized table salt. Rinse turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Then immerse turkey in the cooled brine. Turkey should be completely submerged in liquid (place a plate on top of the bird if necessary to keep it covered with the liquid). Cover the pot and refrigerate for 8-12 hours. After brining, rinse the turkey and pat dry with paper towels. If you have the time, place on a rack over a rimmed baking sheet and allow to air-dry 8-12 hours in the refrigerator. This helps create crispy skin during cooking
