This was fabulous! I took someone's advice and used the big Reynold's bag, put the brine and turkey in there and set it in the biggest bowl I had. It worked out great, turkey tasted fabulous!

I'm not sure if its the brine or the upside down cooking method i used but the combo of the 2 of them made one heck of a moist turkey that I wont ever NOT be brining!

Great recipe. I use a cooler to put bird in and put ice cubes in the water to keep temp down. I did the triple crown last year, brined bird, smoked with apple chips for 2 hrs, then deep fried the bird in peanut oil. Also try a bit of Old Bay in the brine..gives it a different, pleasant essence.

I used this recipe last year for Thanksgiving, turned out fantastic. I will be doing the same this year. I will never prepare a turkey any other way from here on out. Bravo.

Followed the recipe exactly- I brined the turkey in a jumbo size ziplock bag overnight, (11 lb fresh turkey) . Put the turkey and brine in the ziplock then put this inside a big plastic bowl in the fridge and it worked well. This was the juiciest and best turkey we ever had, everyone loved it. Also made gravy with drippings- a little salty but we liked it salty so it was good. Absolutely will make again and again. As an additional note I now use a round Igloo cooler (used at construction sites for water) to brine in, it works perfect.

After 24 hours soaking in this brine, the turkey meat literally was falling off the bone. Our turkey was super moist and so good! We'll definitely be using this recipe again and again.

I don't think I will ever bake a turkey with out brining it first! This was great!!! The turkey was so moist! I baked it as other had suggested; Bake @ 500 for the first 1/2 hour and then the rest of the time at 300 with the breasts covered with foil. I also cooked in in a turkey bag. Awesome recipe!!!

I have to say I cook a great turkey to start with and was really excited to try this recipe. I did roast it and was wondering if I should still stuff it or if it would change the flavor, It did. The turkey was extemely tender and juicey(perfect) but the worchester sauce in the brine changed the flavor of my dressing. I will diffently brine again next time, but I think I will try the other recipe on this site. The ingredients will better suit stuffing.

This is awesome. I cut the recipe in half and used a whole chicken and soaked for 24 hours. This is seriously the best chicken I have ever made. My hubby smelled it roasting was excited, then when he started eating his first words were he would fight me for the leftovers. I roasted it in chicken broth, with garlic, onion, parsley, and bay leaves. Afterwards I strained it and made gravy for mashed potatoes. I will definitely do my Turkey in this for Thanksgiving.

Decided to try this for my Thanksgiving turkey breast. I had to cut this in half to better suit my meager needs, but it worked out really well. Brining really did make a difference, and we had the juiciest turkey breast ever. I've used this also for chicken since then with the same juicy results.
