Honey Brined Herb Roasted Turkey
Servings: 16 people
Ingredients:
1 fresh frozen whole turkey, thawed or 1 fresh frozen whole turkey
8 -10 quarts water
2 cups kosher salt
1 cup honey
3 -4 teaspoons fresh coarse ground black pepper
10 -12 garlic cloves, peeled
2 bunches fresh thyme
1 bunch fresh sage

2 -4 teaspoons olive oil
Directions:
- Remove giblets and neck from turkey, reserve for gravy. Rinse turkey with cold running water and drain well. Blot dry with paper towels.
- Prepare brine by mixing water, honey and salt in a large bowl. Stir until honey dissolves. Add half the thyme and sage along with the garlic and black pepper. Set aside. Add chicken stock.
- Line an extra-large stock pot with a food-safe plastic bag. Place the rinsed turkey in the bag and pour brine over the turkey. Gather the bag tightly around the turkey, causing the turkey to be surrounded by the brine. Seal the bag and refrigerate the pot, bag and brined turkey for at least 12 hours.
