INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine salt and water and stir until salt dissolves to make brine. Pour
brine over turkey in pot just large enough to hold both. If turkey is
completely covered, don't worry about using all of brine. Cover with foil
and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight, turning 2 or 3 times to make sure
turkey is totally submerged. Remove turkey from brine and pat dry with
paper towels. Refrigerate, unwrapped, 6 hours or overnight. Pat turkey with
paper towel so it's free of moisture, then place on its side on rack in
shallow roasting pan. Roast at 450 degrees 15 minutes. Turn turkey to other
side and roast another 15 minutes. Turn breast-side up and roast another 15
minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and roast until meat thermometer
inserted in center of thickest part of thigh registers 165 degrees, about 2
hours. Remove from oven and set aside 20 minutes before carving. Yields 10
to 12 servings.
