Thanksgiving Turkey 🦃 series – Day 1 Brine the bird

Wash the turkey well, rinse and add the brine to marinate.

Turkey Brining recipe

Washed apple peels
1 tsp tsp each of rosemary, thyme, cinnamon and onion powder
3 bay leaves
3 cups of regular salt
1 cup of brown sugar
1 huge steel pot with lid (larger than the size of the turkey)
8 cups water or more if pot is bigger

Method
Boil all of above in a pot with water. Cool completely. Submerge the turkey in the cooled brine.

Adjust ingredients to the weight of the turkey and to your taste and liking.

Keep the pot covered in refrigerator and turn turkey around each day till thanksgiving day.
