Super Simple Poultry Brine
A super simple recipe and method to allow meat to retain moisture, and absorb flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 Gallon Water
- 1 Cup Kosher Salt
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Black Peppercorns
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a large stock pot. Make sure the salt and sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the meat to a briner bucket or bag
- Pour the brine over the meat until the meat is completely covered
- I usually need to double this recipe for a 15-17 pound turkey.
- Allow the meat to brine for about 1 hour per pound of meat. For example, if you have a 15 pound turkey, allow the turkey to brine for 15 hours. If you are short on time, at least let the meat brine overnight.
- Before you apply a rub to the meat, rinse the meat with cool water to run off any excess brine, and pat dry.
- Cook the meat using your desired method. Enjoy!
