Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. kosher salt
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1 gallon water
  • 1/2 c. molasses
  • 1/2 c. lemon juice
  • 1/2 c. maple syrup
  • 1/4 c. black pepper
  • 2 Tbl. minced garlic

Instructions

  1. The recipe calls for 2 hours brining per pound of turkey.
  2. so...for a 22 pound turkey, it is 44 hours.
  3. I did mine for 16 hours and it was great as is!
  4. When you are ready to cook the turkey, the recipe says to remove it from the brine, pat dry and cook as usual.
  5. (Actually I rinsed all the brine off the bird, then cooked it and it was plenty salty...in fact, several people thought the dressing was too salty.)
