I brined my turkey last year with another recipe and it added much more flavor. I found this to be too mild.

This was GREAT! Turkey is not one of my favorite meals, but done this way. Wow! (even without the salt.)

Did you forget to list salt? It is not really a "brine" unless there is salt. Brine recipes usually call for anything from 1/4 to a full cup of salt depending on how much liquid is called for.
