Don't waste time or money on extravagant brines with too many overpowering spices and flavors. This simple yet flavorful brine is all you need for a juicy, delicious turkey that's bursting with flavor!
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk ingredients together.
½ cup kosher salt, ⅓ cup dried rosemary, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 3 cups ice cold water, 1 white onion
Put the turkey in a large plastic bag (or plastic container with a lid) and pour the brine over the turkey. Start by filling up the turkey cavity, making sure all the ingredients get into the bowl or bag.
Tie up the bag securely (or cover the container with the lid or plastic wrap) and let the turkey brine in the refrigerator overnight (at least 8 hours).
