@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format Maple-Flavored Turkey Brine none 2 cups brown sugar 1 cup maple syrup 3/4 cup kosher salt 2 tablespoons garlic powder 6 large bay leaves 3 tablespoons ginger 3 tablespoons black pepper 6 cloves 1 1/2 cups soy sauce 1 tablespoon allspice 2 teaspoons dried thyme 3 quarts water Here's one I used last year with GREAT results: This recipe is enough for a 12-to 14-pound turkey. The spicing is very faint, mostly you taste the salt and a bit of the sugar. It's a bit like a very elegant version of commercial smoked turkey, only without the smoke. Double the recipe for a 24-28 lb. turkey. Check your container's (crock) volume. Combine spices in saucepan. Add 1 quart water and bring to boil. Simmer 5 minutes, then add to remaining 2 quarts of cold water. Chill thoroughly before using brine. Makes 3 quarts (enough for 12- to 14-pound turkey). Brine for 2 to 4 days, turning the bird twice a day. Cook turkey 12 minutes per pound: 450F for 30 minutes, then, 375F for remainder of time.
