Kitten’s Brown Sugar Turkey Brine
This brine is enough for up to a 20-pound whole turkey and will produce the most juiciest and delicious bird and you will taste only the turkey not any extra herbs or flavorings that are added in to some brines, you may omit the garlic but I strongly suggest to add it, only kosher salt for this!
Yield 32 cups
Ingredients:
- 32 cups warm water (2 gallons)
- 1 cup kosher (must use kosher salt ONLY)
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar (well-packed)
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns (can use 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper)
- 3-4 tablespoons fresh coarsely chopped garlic (or slice the cloves into thirds)
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 1 whole turkey (up to 20 pounds)
Instructions:—————————————————
- In a large bucket or container mix together the warm water with brown sugar and salt; stir until no salt and sugar granules remain in the water (make certain to use very warm water so that the salt and sugar will dissolve easily and completely).
- Add in Worcestershire sauce, peppercorns, and garlic; stir until the worcestershire sauce is combined.
- Cool the water until almost room temperature.
- Wash the turkey inside and out with cold water, then place in the brine (if the brine does not quite cover the turkey, then place it breast-side up to start, then turn it over after a couple of hours later).
- Place in refrigerator for 24 hours,.
- Remove the turkey from the brine and rinse the turkey thoroughly under cold running water.
- Pat dry and continue with desired turkey recipe.
