WET BRINE FOR TURKEY
Keep in mind that it's best not to stuff a brined turkey, because the juices will concentrate in the cavity and overseason your stuffing. Instead, cook your stuffing in a baking dish alongside the turkey. See our Complete Guide to Brining for more on wet and dry brining.

Steps:
- In a heavy large stockpot, combine the salt and water, and stir to dissolve. Place the turkey inside 1 heavy-duty brining bag or a double layer of oven-roasting bags and place inside a large roasting pan or extra-large bowl to guard against leaks or spills. Carefully pour the brine into the brining bag then squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag, and use a twist tie or rubber band to seal the bag closed.
- Arrange the pan or bowl in the refrigerator, preferably near the bottom, and let brine at least 8 (and up to 18) hours. For best results, turn the turkey every 6 to 8 hours, so it brines evenly. After at least 8 (and up to 18) hours, remove the turkey from the brine, draining off any excess. If you'd like, give the turkey a quick rinse under cool water. Dry the turkey thoroughly then let it sit for an hour or so at room temperature before roasting according to your favorite recipe.
