Directions

Step 1

Rub turkey inside and out with kosher salt; place in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Cover and refrigerate to allow turkey to soak in brine solution for 12 hours, or overnight.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove turkey from brine and discard liquid. Pat turkey dry thoroughly with paper towels — inside and out. This removes excess moisture and also helps skin crisp during roasting.
