Turkey Brine Recipes


A juicy, flavorful turkey is practically guaranteed in case you soak or "brine" the bird within a saltwater bath before roasting. The brine should have a ratio approximately 1 1/2 cups kosher salt to every gallon of water. Add herbs, spices, and sweeteners according to personal preference.

Turkey brine from my November 1997 issue:


• 2 12-ounce cans frozen apple-juice concentrate, thawed

• 4 12-ounce cans cold water (make use of the empty apple-juice can to measure)


• 1/2 cup cider vinegar

• 1/2 cup fresh sage leaves, chopped, or 3 tablespoons crumbled dried sage


• 1/4 cup pickling salt

• 1 12-pound fresh or thawed frozen turkey


In a 2-gallon plastic food-storage bag put in large bowl, combine undiluted apple juice, water, vinegar, sage, salt, and pepper. Set mixture aside.

Remove giblets and neck from turkey; rinse, wrap, and refrigerate to generate gravy. Rinse make turkey, breast side down, in apple-juice mixture. Seal bag and refrigerate turkey for a few days, turning the bird every 12 hours.

About 8 hours before serving, drain turkey, reserving marinade. Place turkey, breast side up, on wire rack in shallow small roasting pan. Refrigerate turkey uncovered not less than 4 hours to dry skin or until prepared to roast.

Cheryl Slocum's turkey brine from your November 2001 issue:


• 8 quarts water

• 1 tablespoon peppercorns


• 6 bay leaves

• 4 stalks celery (chopped).


Immerse a non-saline-injected turkey to the mixture, cover, and refrigerate every day and night. Add more water when necessary. Drain and roast with your favorite recipe.

Chef Tim Love's turkey brine from November 2010 issue:


• 1 cup kosher salt

• 1/2 cup red-pepper flakes


• 3 cloves garlic, smashed

• 1 whole (14- to 16-pound) turkey, rinsed and patted dry


• 6 quarts cold water

In a sizable pot, combine salt, red-pepper flakes, garlic, jalapeƱos, and a pair of quarts trouble; stir to dissolve salt. Place turkey in pot breast-side down and cover with cold water until submerged. Cover pot and refrigerate turkey for around 12 hours.
