Salt has always been used to “cure” or preserve meat, and our ancestors discovered that a wonderful side-effect is that it tenderizes the meat at the same time. Brining, which means marinating the meat in a salty and sweet liquid, brings the third advantage of adding extra moisture to potentially dry meat such as the breast of turkey.
Place ziplock or brining bag inside large garbage bag [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and then place in cooler box and pack ice or ice packs all around.
Tip: place the turkey in the container first [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then pour over enough water to cover. Remove the turkey, drain it well, then measure the amount of water in the container. This will tell you exactly how much brine you will need to cover the turkey, and will save on spillage and waste.
Roasting time should be ten minutes per 1lb in weight.
