Tiffany Poulsen Anderson this brine recipe looks good. 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons kosher salt 3/4 cup sugar 1 carrot, peeled, diced 1 large onion, peeled, diced 1/4 cup diced celery 2 teaspoons crushed garlic 2 bay leaves 1 tablespoon black peppercorns 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds PREPARATION View Step-by-Step Directions Bring salt, sugar, and 4 cups water to a boil in a very large (16-qt.) pot, stirring until salt and sugar are dissolved. Turn off heat. Add remaining ingredients to brine base. Refrigerate, uncovered, until cold. Add 6 quarts cold water to pot. Add turkey. Place a plate on top of turkey to keep submerged. Cover; chill for up to 48 hours. (The turkey will be moister and more flavorful if allowed to brine the full 48 hours.)
