Herb & Lemon Turkey Brine
Want to know the secret to a moist turkey? Its all in the brine...
Ingredients
- 1 gallon GF vegetable broth
- 1 cup salt
- 1 Tbsp rosemary
- 1 Tbsp sage
- 1 Tbsp thyme
- 1 Tbsp savory
- 1 Tbsp peppercorns
- 2 lemons cut into wedges
- 5 cloves garlic unpeeled, lightly crushed
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Heat all ingredients (except ice) in a saucepan until salt is dissolved. Cool slightly then add enough ice cubes to chill brine.
- Put raw turkey in a large enough container to hold it and the brine. Fill with brine (top up with more water if needed to cover turkey). Refrigerate 8-24hrs. Drain, pat turkey dry, and allow to rest at room temperature for one hour prior to roasting.
Notes
If not filling turkey with stuffing, put 2 fresh lemon halves inside the cavity.
