Recipe Summary Steve's Apple Brine For Turkey
An apple brine not only adds flavor to the meat, it adds moisture through osmosis. This moisture will prevent the meat from drying out while slow-roasting for many hours.Ingredients | Lakme Moisturizer Cream Price¼ cup dried rosemary¼ cup ground thyme2 tablespoons rubbed sage4 bay leaves1 teaspoon ground black pepper1 gallon boiling water1 pound kosher salt1 gallon cold apple juiceDirectionsPlace rosemary, thyme, sage, bay leaves, and black pepper into a cloth spice bag.Combine water and salt in a stock pot; stir until salt dissolves. Bring to a boil, place spice bag into water, and simmer until flavors combine, about 20 minutes.

Add cold, raw turkey to brine, remove air and tie top of each bag, one at a time. Set brining bag in ice in ice chest for 12-24 hours.
