Ingredients: 1 whole fresh turkey or frozen turkey not injected with sodium solution (20-pound turkey recommended) My Favorite Turkey Brine (recipe follows) 2 sticks butter, softened 3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 2 tablespoons julienned orange zest My Favorite Turkey Brine: 2 gallons cold water 3 cups apple cider 2 cups packed brown sugar 3/4 cup kosher salt 3 tablespoons tricolor peppercorns 5 whole bay leaves 5 cloves garlic, minced Peel of 3 large oranges, cut into large strips 4 rosemary sprigs, leaves stripped Directions: Brine the Turkey: Remove the turkey from its packaging and remove the neck and giblets from the cavity. Rinse the neck and giblets and place them in a plastic bag in the fridge for gravy. Rinse the turkey thoroughly with cold water. Place the turkey in a large brining bag or pot. Pour in My Favorite Turkey Brine and refrigerate for 16–18 hours. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 275°F. Prepare the Turkey: Remove the turkey from the brine and rinse thoroughly inside and out. Soak the turkey in cold water for 15 minutes, then rinse again and pat dry. Truss the bird or arrange the legs and wings as desired. Place the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a large roasting pan. Cover the pan and tent the bird with heavy-duty foil. Roast at 275°F for about 10 minutes per pound (e.g., 20-pound turkey ≈ 3 1/2 hours). Butter Mixture & Final Roast: Mix the butter, rosemary, and orange zest. Remove the foil and increase oven temperature to 375°F. Rub the butter mixture over the turkey, getting into crevices. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thigh near the hip joint. Roast uncovered, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes, until the thermometer reads 165°F and juices run clear (about 1 1/2–2 1/2 hours depending on size). Rest & Serve: Remove from oven and cover lightly with foil until ready to carve. My Favorite Turkey Brine: Combine water, cider, brown sugar, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, garlic, orange strips, and rosemary in a large pot. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Bring to a boil, cover, and turn off heat. Cool completely before refrigerating. Cook’s Note: Brine quantities are for a 20-pound turkey; adjust for smaller birds.
