Glad you reminded me, going around turning my faucets on dripping now. It’s getting down to 24 degrees Fahrenheit ( _4.4 Celsius ) Unusual for this early in the season here.

Well I have my 24 lb turkey soaking in a apple juice brine solution in a big pot in the refrigerator for 24 hours, Here’s what is in the solution:

  • 1 1/2 cups non-iodized table salt, or kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 quarts water, divided
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 2 quarts apple juice, cold
  • 1 whole turkey, up to 12 pounds

Note: I doubled all the ingredients being it’s a 24 lb Turkey.

1: In a large pot, combine the salt, sugar, and 1 quart of water. Bring it to a simmer, stirring until the salt and sugar have completely dissolved.

2: Remove the pot from the heat and add the cloves, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, and orange zest. Allow it to cool completely, for 30 to 40 minutes.

3: Add the cold apple juice and the remaining 1 quart of water, which should also be cold. Refrigerate until the brine is chilled.

4: Place the poultry in a large plastic container or brining bag. Pour the brine over the top. Brine the poultry in the refrigerator for 1 hour per pound. For example, a 12-pound turkey should brine for 12 hours while a 20-pound turkey should brine for 20 hours.

5: Thoroughly rinse all the brine from the turkey before cooking. This is vital to prevent the turkey from tasting excessively salty.

6: Season and cook the bird as planned. It can be coated with a dry rub, butter, or injected with marinade and then roasted, smoked, grilled, or deep-fried.

7: Enjoy

I plan to coat it in butter and will let everyone know how it turns out.

Tips

  • Only use non-iodized salt when brining since iodized salt will spoil the flavor.
  • Buy the cheapest apple juice you can find to use in the brine since you’ll need a lot of it and the quality won’t matter in the final product. It’s not worth it to use artisanal hand-pressed apple juice from the farmer’s market—save that for making some spiced cider.
  • Your turkey needs to be fully immersed in the brine. If you use a brining bag rather than a large plastic container, more of the bird will be in contact with the brine.
  • A brined bird will have plenty of salt, so you should not use salt in any rub you apply before roasting or smoking. If you stuff your turkey, omit the salt from the stuffing as the juices from the bird will season your stuffing very well.
  • Although perfect for turkey, this apple brine can also be used for large pork roasts.

Sorry to hear that Kyzera I hope that they find it’s not a bad break and heals quickly, I broke mine just above the Ankle 12/13/2013 putting up Christmas lights on the gutters broke both my Fibula and Tibia, Had a $10,000.00 deductible then in April it still wasn’t healed and had to go through surgery again with another $10,000.00, Took 5 years before I could walk without a limp.

Sending prayers to you and yours during these tough times.

Thank you.

He broke his tibia right at the knee, so not sure what his recovery will look like yet.

Try not to have a knee jerk reaction just go at it casualy like i used to be a skateboarder like u till i took a arrow to the knee.

…and cook it in peanut oil unless there’s an allergy.
