Ingredients
1 gallon water for boiling
2 1/2 cups coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
37 peppercorns
2 red onions, halved
2 heads garlic, halved along cloves
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons fresh ginger
1 cinnamon stick
1 gallon ice water
Directions
Dissolve salt and sugar in boiling water. Add everything else and simmer on
low for one hour. Add ice water and chill to 40 degrees.
Footnotes
To cut down on cooling time, I make a concentrated brine then add an equal
amount of ice water.
Making the brine will take about an hour and a half, and turkey cooking times will vary. Rule of thumb for brining is one hour per pound, then thoroughly rinse bird inside and out.
This is a moist and cheesy comfort food. Works well with Elk burger as well.show recipe
