INGREDIENTS

1 gallon Vegetable broth
1 cup Sea salt
1 tablespoon Crushed dry rosemary
1 tablespoon Dried sage
1 tablespoon Dried thyme
1 tablespoon Dried ground savory
1 gallon Ice water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large stock pot, combine the first six ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently to be sure the salt is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

2. When the broth mixture is cool, pour it into a clean 5 gallon bucket. Stir in the ice water.

3. Wash and dry your turkey. Make sure you have removed the innards. Place the turkey, breast down, into the brine, making sure that the cavity gets filled. Place the bucket in the refrigerator over night or longer.

4. Remove the turkey carefully draining off the excess brine and pat dry. Discard excess brine. Allow the turkey to come to room temperature.

5. 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.
