For best results, use a cooler to hold the turkey and brine if you lack sufficient refrigerator space. Replenish ice as needed to maintain a cold temperature. Ensure the turkey is fully thawed before brining to ensure even flavor penetration. After brining, rinse the turkey thoroughly under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels before cooking to remove excess salt. Feel free to experiment with additional aromatics in the brine, such as citrus peels, herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage), or spices (peppercorns, bay leaves, juniper berries) to customize the flavor profile.
