Turkey Brine

1 cup Kosher salt

1 cup brown sugar

2 gallons cold water

2 oranges, quartered

2 lemons, quartered

6 sprigs thyme

4 sprigs rosemary

Directions:  Dissolve the salt and sugar in 2 gallons cold water.  Add the oranges, 

lemons, thyme, and rosemary.  If you have a big turkey and need more brine, use ½ 

cup salt and ½ cup sugar for every gallon of water.  Brine the turkey overnight.

Comment:  Option to add a beer to the brine.  Sometimes it helps to place a heavy 

plate on top of the turkey to keep it submerged.
