This recipe is for a 15 lb turkey.
First, let me start by saying that if you have never brined a turkey before I can tell you that it really does make a difference. Brining a turkey adds moisture and flavor and keeps the turkey from drying out. And contrary to popular belief, the turkey does not taste salty at all.
You can really use any types of herbs and spices for the brine. The key ingredients are the sugar & salt. Everything else can be modified to your liking.
