Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine broth, salt, rosemary, sage, thyme, and savory in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently until salt dissolves; let cool to room temperature. Pour into a food-grade 5-gallon bucket. Stir in ice water.

  2. Pat turkey dry; remove giblets from cavity. Place turkey, breast-side down, into brine, making sure cavity fills. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.

  3. Drain off and discard excess brine; pat turkey dry. Cook turkey as desired, reserving drippings for gravy. Note that brined turkeys often cook 20 to 30 minutes faster; start checking for doneness early.
