INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1 COMBINE water, sugar, Mustard, salt, garlic and herbs in large pot. Place turkey in oven roasting bag and place bag in large pot or food-safe container.
  • 2 POUR brine mixture over turkey. Pull bag closed tightly so brine is completely covering turkey and seal. Place in refrigerator for 24 hours.

  • 5 FRY turkey 55 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes (about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per pound) until cooked through (internal temperature in breast should reach 165°F and thigh should reach 175°F).
  • 6 Oven Method: Preheat oven to 325°F. Brine and prepare turkey as directed, patting completely dry. Place brined turkey, breast-side up, on flat roasting rack in shallow roasting pan Bake 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 hours or until meat thermometer registers 180°F when inserted in deepest part of thigh. Cover breasts and tops of drumsticks with aluminum foil after 2 hours to prevent overcooking of breast.
