GREAT TURKEY BRINE FOR A MOIST JUICY BIRD!



Great Turkey Brine for a Moist Juicy Bird! image

This is a great brine recipe for turkey, or it would work for chicken too. Make sure and soak your turkey in the brine at least overnight before cooking, or even better for 24 hours. You do need to keep the bird refrigerated while brining, but if your November weather is like ours, we often can keep our brining container in the car, or in the garage, on an enclosed porch--somewhere where raccoons and dogs can't get to it, and cold, at least 38 degrees. You can use canning or kosher salt, if you use regular table salt, reduce salt amount by about half, because those kinds of salts are coarser, so less concentrated. If you use ground spices, reduce the amounts by half also. If you grow your own herbs, this is also a great way to use them. If you use the fresh herb, use three times as much. NOTE: this is for a standard 1/5 gallon bottle of white wine, the computer keeps changing it to 1/4 gallon of wine. You can also use cider or apple juice instead of the wine, or you can use 1/2-3/4 bottle of wine instead of a whole bottle. This is a very forgiving recipe!

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/2 gallons, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup canning salt
1/4 gallon white wine
2 tablespoons whole leaf dried sage
1 tablespoon whole dried thyme
1 tablespoon whole leaf dried tarragon
1 tablespoon whole leaf dried rosemary
2 gallons water

Steps:

  • Mix the salt, water and spices along with the wine in a large clean container such as a food grade five gallon bucket. Stir well until the salt dissolves. (Sterilite makes a nice five gallon can that's clear and food grade that I obtained from Big Lots for this purpose for $8 ).
  • Take your thawed turkey, clean it under running water and remove the neck and giblets for another use.
  • Add the turkey to the brine, putting it in so the breast side is down in the brine, be sure to fill all the cavities in the bird with the brine.
  • Cover and refrigerate until time to cook, then drain and cook according to your package directions.

MIGHTY FINE TURKEY BRINE



Mighty Fine Turkey Brine image

I mixed and matched and finally found the best way to brine a turkey. It adds flavor but not enough to overpower what you will use when you roast the turkey. It will literally leak when you cut it... that is how juicy this bird gets. You can also use this brine for other types of poultry.

TOP 11 TURKEY BRINE RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS
top-11-turkey-brine-recipes-the-spruce-eats image

From thespruceeats.com
  • Basic Turkey Brine. This is a good recipe if this is your first time using a brine and you want to start simple. Dissolve kosher salt, garlic, herbs, and allspice berries in water.
  • Savory Turkey Brine. This turkey brine combines vegetable stock with kosher salt, sugar, and herbs to create a rich flavor. The mixture is simmered on the stove until the salt is dissolved and then plenty of cold water is added.​
  • Apple Spice Brine. Since a brine is typically water and salt with a little sweetness to give it flavor, using fruit juices, like orange and apple, in place of the water is a great idea.
  • Smoked Turkey Brine. This simple brine adds a nice herb flavor to the bird because it includes fresh tarragon and whole bay leaves. The mixture is best for turkeys that are going to be cooked in the smoker.
  • Cranberry Turkey Brine. It only seems right to brine a turkey with seasonal cranberry. The combination of cranberry, apple, and orange juices, salt, garlic, and fresh herbs makes this brine a great option for a Thanksgiving bird.
  • Holiday Poultry Brine. The candied ginger and allspice give this brine a unique flavor that is perfect for your holiday turkey. By cooking the salt, sugar, and spices in vegetable stock, you get extra flavor with a mild saltiness that makes for a perfect brine.
  • Poultry Brine. This brine works with the added power of pickling spices, which increase the moisture in poultry. Combined with vinegar, brown sugar, and some great seasonings such as tarragon, allspice, and garlic powder, this brine brings a lot of flavor to your turkey.
  • Maple and Brown Sugar Brine. This brine has a sweet maple flavor and can be used on any kind of poultry but works especially nicely on turkey. All of the ingredients, which include soy sauce, maple syrup, spices, and brown sugar, are boiled together making for a quick and easy brine.
  • Apple Turkey Brine. The apple juice in this turkey brine gives the slightest hint of tartness that fills out the flavors of this recipe. Add to it brown sugar, cloves, cinnamon, and orange zest and you have a bright, flavorful and tangy brine.
  • Citrus Turkey Brine. The citrus fruits in this citrus turkey brine not only add a great tangy flavor but also act to tenderize the meat of the poultry. The mild acid of the lemon will help to carry flavors deep into the meat, and the onion and garlic add a nice savory touch.
