Ingredients

• 3 Quarts (qt) organic chicken stock
• 0.75 Cups (cup) kosher salt
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) dried rosemary
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) dried thyme
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) dried savory
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) dried sage
• 15 Pounds (lb) turkey, packaged
• 1 Large brining bag (25-pound capacity)

Steps

1. Combine chicken stock, kosher salt, rosemary, thyme, savory, and sage in a bowl to create the brine.
2. Place the turkey in the brining bag and fill it with the brine, ensuring the cavity is filled. Transfer the bag to a 5-gallon pot filled with water. Slowly submerge the brining bag under the water while sealing it, squeezing out as much air as possible to prevent floating.
3. Attach a sous vide cooker to the edge of the pot. Wrap the pot in a dish towel for insulation and cover with plastic wrap to reduce evaporation. Set the temperature to 150°F (65°C) and cook for 18 to 24 hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Remove the turkey from the brining bag and transfer it to a large roasting pan. Discard the brine.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned, about 30 minutes. Ensure an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, reads 165°F (74°C).
7. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked and flavorful turkey!
