This smoked turkey brine is a blend of apple juice, citrus, fresh herbs and spices that is simple to make and produces a juicy and flavorful turkey. A good brine is a must-have for the perfect smoked turkey!
It is very important to only use kosher salt in this recipe - do not substitute a different type of salt.
This brine is designed for a 12-14 pound turkey. If your turkey is a little larger and not fully submerged, it's fine to add a little extra water to cover.
