Category: Turkey
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 (10-12 lb) Turkey
Brining Solution (see below)
1/2 stick of butter
Salt and pepper
1 large onion, 3 celery ribs, 1-2 apples (optional)

Rinse turkey and soak in brining solution for 1-3 days in the refrigerator. Remove and rinse well, pat dry with paper towels.

Lightly season inside with salt and pepper. Stuff with your favorite dressing or with coarsely chopped apples, onions and celery.

Baste liberally with melted butter. Bake at 325 until internal temperature reads 175. If it is browning too quickly, drape a piece of foil over the turkey and continue to bake. Basting periodically with the drippings is recommended.

Brining Solution
3-4 bay leaves, crumbled
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tbsp cracked Mixed Peppercorn
1 tsp crushed juniper berries (optional)
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp salt
8 cups room-temperature water

Place aromatics in a small pot with 1 cup of water; bring to a simmer stirring well. Remove first four and combine water solution with sugar and salt. Stir to dissolve, add remaining water. Place solution in large container or brining bag.
Add turkey and use a heavy plate or bowl to keep the meat submerged. Cover and store in refrigerator for 1-3 days.
