CHEZ PANISSE'S BRINE FOR TURKEY image

Number Of Ingredients 8

-- 2 1/2 gallons cold water
-- 2 cups kosher salt
-- 1 cup sugar
-- 2 bay leaves, torn into pieces
-- 1 bunch fresh thyme, or 4 tablespoons dried
-- 1 whole head of garlic, cloves separated and peeled
-- 5 whole allspice berries, crushed
-- 4 juniper berries, smashed

Steps:

  • Place the water in a large pot that can easily hold the liquid and the turkey you intend to brine. Add all ingredients and stir for a minute or two until the sugar and salt dissolve. Put your turkey into the brine and refrigerate for 24 hours. If the turkey floats to the top, use a plate or other weight to keep it completely submerged in the brine.
