THE BEST TURKEY BRINE



The Best Turkey Brine image

This is our go-to brine for turkey. It's simple, flavorful and most importantly leaves you with a succulent, juicy, perfectly-seasoned bird. It's also perfect for chicken, pork chops, Cornish game hens - you name it. While we like the combination of thyme and sage, you can also use other hearty herbs such as rosemary, oregano or marjoram.

PLAIN OLD TURKEY BRINE



Plain Old Turkey Brine image

Many turkey brines have ingredients that I don't like. This one is very simple and ingredients (like apples, spices, etc) can be added based on your personal tastes. From Eve Felder, associate dean of culinary arts at The Culinary Institute of America as published in "The Providence Journal" on Wednesday, November 14, 2007.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time P1DT20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 gallons water, divided
1/2 lb sugar
1/2 lb salt
herbs, and
spices (such as thyme, bay leaves, black peppercorns, cloves, etc)
1/2 gallon ice

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 1 gallon water to a boil. Add the sugar, salt and spices, then stir until the salt and sugar dissolve.
  • Add 1 gallon of cold water and the ice. Transfer the brine to a container large enough to contain it and the turkey (I do this with a turkey breast and put it in a small cooler -- Many grocers sell special brining bags for this purpose).
  • Add the turkey to the brine, breast side submerged, close the container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Once brined, remove the turkey from the liquid and drain. Pat the bird dry with paper towels and proceed with roasting as directed by your recipe. Check the internal temperature early, as brined turkeys cook faster than those not brine.
  • Makes enough brine for a 10-pound turkey.

TOP 11 TURKEY BRINE RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS

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.
