I saw this recipe when I was watching Tyler Florence on the tv network. I tried it last weekend and it was perfect. Will make any thanksgiving turkey moist and flavorful! Cooking time is for marinating time.

1. Mix all ingredients in a large 20 gallon stock pot or bucket and place turkey carefully in the brine. Allow to marinate for at least 12 hours or overnight.
