Steps:
- In a large stock pot, combine the vegetable broth, sea salt, rosemary, sage, thyme, and savory. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently to be sure salt is dissolved. Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature.
- When the broth mixture is cool, pour it into a clean 5 gallon bucket. Stir in the ice water.
- Wash and dry your turkey. Make sure you have removed the innards. Place the turkey, breast down, into the brine. Make sure that the cavity gets filled. Place the bucket in the refrigerator overnight.
- Remove the turkey carefully draining off the excess brine and pat dry. Discard excess brine.
- Cook the turkey as desired reserving the drippings for gravy. Keep in mind that brined turkeys cook 20 to 30 minutes faster so watch the temperature gauge.

THE BEST TURKEY BRINE
This is our go-to brine for turkey. It's simple, flavorful and most importantly leaves you with a succulent, juicy, perfectly-seasoned bird. It's also perfect for chicken, pork chops, Cornish game hens - you name it. While we like the combination of thyme and sage, you can also use other hearty herbs such as rosemary, oregano or marjoram.

- Pour the brine into a large stockpot or bucket and add 3 quarts cold water. Remove the neck and giblets (reserve for gravy) from the turkey and put it into the brine, pushing it down to cover. Refrigerate for 24 hours.

Steps:
- Combine 2 gallons cold water with the apple cider, brown sugar, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, rosemary and orange peels in a large pot. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover.
- Allow to cool completely, then place into the fridge to chill. Place uncooked turkey in the chilled brine solution, then refrigerate for 16 to 24 hours.
- When ready to roast the turkey, remove from the brine. Submerge the turkey in a pot or sink of fresh, cold water. Allow to sit in clean water for 15 minutes to remove excess salt from the outside.
- Discard the brine. Remove the turkey from the clean water, pat dry, and cook according to your normal roasting method.
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.

- Prepare a Saltwater Mixture. The basic proportion of salt to water for whole turkey is about 5 percent salt by weight for the quantity of water. This gives you a relatively mild brine designed for a whole turkey.
- Flavor the Brine (Optional) There's no need to heat the water if you're making basic brine, but if you want to infuse it with spices and/or herbs, you'll want to bring half of the brine to a boil with your desired ingredients.
- Bag the Turkey. Arrange a turkey-sized brining bag in a large roasting pan, folding back the opening to form a collar. Place the turkey into the brining bag and pour the brine over the bird.
- Keep the Turkey Cold and Let It Brine for 8 to 18 Hours. Pop the turkey into the fridge and let it brine for at least 8 hours (and up to 18 hours). Just don't leave the turkey in the brine for longer than recommended—over-brining can render the bird too salty and turn the texture spongy.
- Rinse and Dry the Turkey. A wet-brined turkey can be slow to brown in the oven, so, for the best results, remove the turkey from the brine 8 to 12 hours before you plan to roast it.
