Herb-Infused Turkey Brining Solution
  1. 1

    Combine the broth, salt, rosemary, sage, thyme, and savory in a large stockpot and bring to a boil, stirring often until the salt dissolves.

  2. 2

    Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Pour it into a food-grade 5-gallon bucket and stir in the ice water.

  4. 4

    Pat the turkey dry and remove the giblets from the cavity.

  5. 5

    Place the turkey breast-side down in the brine, ensuring the cavity fills, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

  6. 6

    Drain and discard the excess brine, then pat the turkey dry.

  7. 7

    Cook the turkey as desired, reserving the drippings for gravy.

  8. 8

    Be aware that brined turkeys often cook 20 to 30 minutes faster, so begin checking for doneness early.
