Скачать или смотреть Roasting A Moist & Juicy Turkey

It's just as important to prep your turkey as it is to cook it properly. Perfect prep makes tender, juicy turkey meat. This is your year...you got this! This brine is perfect for a turkey, using 1-1½ teaspoons of kosher salt per pound of turkey as the base for the brine mixture. Adjust the amount of salt depending on your preference and the size of your turkey.

Kosher salt (1-1½ tsp per pound of turkey)
Brown sugar (¼ cup per 4 pounds of turkey)
Fresh sage (2 tbsp, finely chopped)
Fresh thyme (2 tbsp, finely chopped)
Fresh rosemary (1 tbsp, finely chopped)
Lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
Orange zest (from 1 orange)
Onion powder (2 tbs)
Garlic powder (2 tbs)

Pat your thawed turkey dry. Mix all the ingredients and apply it inside and all over the turkey. That means under the skin and on the surface. Let it brine over night uncovered in the fridge. Do not rinse. Cook your turkey by your preferred method, ensuring it reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) measured in the thickest part of the breast or thigh if you're roasting a whole turkey. Enjoy!
