Preparation Method
- In a large pot, combine the water, brown sugar, and salt.
- Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
- Add the bay leaves, peppercorns, minced garlic, and quartered yellow onion to the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once the brine has cooled, place the turkey in a large container or brining bag.
- Pour the brine over the turkey, ensuring it is fully submerged.
- Refrigerate the turkey in the brine for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours for a more intense flavor.
- After brining, remove the turkey from the brine and rinse it thoroughly under cold water.
- Pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
