Apple Brine for Turkey the Night Before Cooking
I have used this apple brine recipe for turkey the night before cooking for many years. It makes a turkey fall-apart moist every time.
Ingredients
-
1 gallon cold water, plus more as needed
-
2 quarts apple juice
-
1 cup kosher salt
-
6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
-
5 pounds ice cubes
Description
-
Line a cooler with a large food-safe bag. Add 1 gallon water, apple juice, and salt to the bag; stir until salt is dissolved. Add garlic.
-
To use, place turkey in brine, breast-side down; add more water as needed until turkey is completely submerged. Pour ice over turkey. Seal the bag, close the cooler, and let turkey brine overnight.
