11Jack Daniel’s Maple Brown Sugar Turkey Brine
Adapted from Allrecipes’ Maple Turkey Brine: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/219475/maple-turkey-brine/ This is my all time favorite turkey brine. I’ve made it so many times because I cook turkey breasts throughout the year,not just the big bird at Thanksgiving, and this is the one I keep coming back to. Before you start: This batch is for turkeys up to 16 pounds when used in a brining bag. Do not brine a kosher, enhanced, self-basting, or pre-basted turkey; those birds are already salted.
