Recipe Notes:
How to Brine a Turkey
- When you’re ready to brine your turkey bring 2 gallons of water and 1 cup apple cider vinegar to a simmer in a stock pot.
- Mix in the brine, this recipe makes enough for one turkey. Mix and heat until the salt and sugar are totally dissolved. Your house will smell AMAZING.
- Let the brine cool in the fridge. Then submerge your turkey in it. Let it sit in the fridge overnight or for 24 hours.
- When you’re ready to cook your turkey, remove it from the brine, rinse it, then let it air dry. Cook as desired. I spatchcock it and smoke it.
