Get Started - 100% free to try - join in 30 secondsI start brining the turkey around 9:00 AM on Wednesday. I use a large bucket to put the turkey in, line it with a trash bag. I keep the turkey brining out on my deck, out of the sun. I get a brick, clean it off, wrap it in tinfoil, then put it in a plastic bag. I do this to the brick because the turkey floats and this is used as a weight.That’s general info.
2015-Used Ingredients below. About 8 hours. No Convection - see Bongi's guide. Did not do last four steps below but should have! Skin not crisped! Did NOT use convection oven.
Made Gravy with broth from Gizzards, etc and 3 cups of water that was under turkey while cooking. - total 4 cups - no other ingredients in gravy - delicious. Attributed it to the brined turkey. I did not need drippings for flavor so gravy was light in color. (4 cups broth, 1 stick of butter, 1/2 cup flour)
1 gallon vegetable broth (if you buy, don’t get low sodium)
1 C Kosher salt
1/2 C brown sugar
1 tablespoon peppercorns
1/2 tablespoon allspice
1/2 tablespoon candied ginger
