That brine sounds like a winner to me. I use a 5 gal. rubbermade water jug. I use a 13 gal. kitchen bag. Put the turkey in and the brine in until covered. Fold the bag over and set the ice bag on top and close up. I have done a 29 pound turkey in a low salt brine for two days and still had ice on top. I am using your brine this year. Thanks for the recipe.

I'm using this brine for my trial-run turkey, and intend to on the "official" turkey. Funny story when looking for the elusive Chinese Five Spice. I Looked at a couple close smaller grocery stores, empty handed, I decided to call around. EVERY place I called, said they didn't carry it, and that someone else had just asked about it. I finally decided to stop at a lowly tiny Food Lion grocery store next to my house. I asked a stock lady, and she said that every thanksgiving someone asks about it and that they didn't have any. Just as I turned to leave, she mentioned that I could check their McCormick seasoning area of the regular spice section and LOW AND BEHOLD there it was. It's not the Sun Luck brand, but by golly I got some. Funny thing is what can you imagine these other people are using this Chinese Five Spice for...? ;)

It really sucks living in a podunk town.

Looking forward to the cook tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe!

John,
I used your simple brine today on an inhanced bird. I cut the salt down from 1.5 cups to just 1 cup. Also, what is the difference between light brown sugar and dark brown sugar. The recipe I used didn't specify so I used light brown.

Ha! Dude, that is funny. For the rest of you that are stuck in Podunkdom,
just use allspice.

Dark brown sugar = more molasses. If you don't have dark, just add a slight
splash of molasses (maybe 1/2 tsp per cup of light brown sugar) to your
light brown sugar.

After many years of doing it my way, I'm going for the brine this Thanksgiving and your recipe is the one I'm using. The combination of flavors sounds real enticing. Thanks!

Bo - I'm flattered that you'd try my brine for such a special meal.

"Bo" was the nickname of my first O.J.T. supervisor in the Air Force?

Please let me know what you think.

I'm a big fan of brining but usually just use a 2:1 mixture of salt to sugar (1 cup of salt/gallon of H2O). I think I will try your recipe. Thanks!
