Default Some brining recipes

Here's a whole bunch of turkey brining recipes.

I use a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket lined with a non scented kitchen trash bag. I put it on the deck with the cover on and have not had a problem with animals getting at it...yet!!
Here is the one I primary have used with some modification...

Most important, be creative with spices according to your taste. My key ingredients have been kosher salt, brown sugar and at least 2 quarts of apple juice or cider. And then what I call Scarboro Fair spices...parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.

If you try it, let us know your results!
