Asian Turkey Brine
To brine or not to brine that is the question. I go both ways on the issues. Some years I brine the turkey and some years I don’t. If you’re looking for a unique brine try my Asian Turkey Brine this year for either your holiday bird. You can also use this brine for chicken.
INGREDIENTS
2 Cups Soy Sauce
2 Gallons Water
1 1/2 Cups Kosher Salt
10 Cloves Minced Garlic
3 Tablespoon Whole Black Peppercorns
4 Dried Bay Leaves
1/4 Cup Worcestershire Sauce
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
In large food safe container combine all of the ingredients. Whisk until salt and sugar are totally dissolved. Place turkey into brine. Leave in brine for 1 hour per pound of meat. Once done brining, remove from brine and pat meat dry before booking. Roast turkey and baste with extra soy sauce.
