Best turkey ever, really easy to do and the results speak for themselves. I will never cook turkey again without brining it.

Used this for a turkey and it was great..will never make a turkey unless I do this first- very moist. Used again this year on the turkey- amazing how moist this makes the bird. Also used it on chicken breast- I will never bake another chicken breast unless it was brined- awesome!

Fantastic brine. I just combines the everything with a couple quarts of warm water then put 5 pints of ice in my large cooler and covered the turkey. I used the cooler with a spout on it. Ya know the kind that hold gallons of drinks. I just let the turkey sit there for a couple of days and checked to make sure it was staying good and chilled. I couldnt use the bags as i am a mess in the kitchen.

I brined our Thanksgiving turkey in this. I added some allspice berries, peppercorns, and red pepper flakes to the brine to spice it up a bit. Boy, our turkey was so moist and delicious, I know I'll be doing this for the next several years! thanks!
