I hope you don't mind my asking, but what brine recipe do you use? I've decided to brine my turkey this year and have been researching different recipes.

Alton Brown's Good Eats Roast Turkey is a good place to start.

Once you understand the procedure, you can do variations. Make sure the cooked brine is COLD before you put in the bird. The kitchen trash can with two clean bags works real well for brining.

BTW - Do not skip the allspice berries and the candied ginger. They are available in the spice isle of your local magamart. Don't skimp on the salt because it is essential to the the flavor transfer into the meat.
