We used this recipe last year and it was the best turkey I have ever...I mean EVER had in my life. Tis the season for Turkey so I thought I would share it with you all. Try it out! You won't regret it.
SMOKED TURKEY BRINE
INGREDIENTS
•1 gallon water
•1 cup salt (1 1/2 cups Kosher or coarse salt)
•1/2 cup sugar
•6 fresh tarragon leaves or 1/4 cup dried tarragon

PREPARATION
The water you use should not be chlorinated. If you don't have easy access to good spring water. Boil it first, let the water cool and then add all other ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Place Turkey in large non-metallic dish and cover completely with brine.
Let sit in refrigerator for 1 hour per pound.Overnight is the best way for timing.
Remove Turkey from Brine,
RINSE thoroughly and pat dry.
