Steps:
- 1. Thaw your turkey, leave giblets and neck in it while brining it. Place in a clean cooler.
- 2. Add all ingredients to stockpot except turkey and giblets.
- 3. Bring ingredients to a boil. Let cool to room temperature. Pour over turkey.
- 4. Add ice to cover turkey. Set in a closed cooler out of the way for 30 hours. (I use a 5-day cooler. I never have to add ice after the initial time. Keep an eye on it and make sure you still have ice to keep it cool!)
- 5. Rinse turkey.
- 6. Dry turkey. Remove neck and giblets (boil those down for gravy and stuffing).
- 7. Loosen breast skin and place butter pads under the skin.
- 8. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of flour to a turkey oven bag. Shake flour around in the bag.
- 9. Place turkey in the oven bag.
- 10. Tie off the open end of the bag.
- 11. Cut 6 small holes in the top, cook in 350* oven for 3 hours (a 20lb turkey).
- 12. Remove from oven. Let rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
