Category: Main CourseCuisine: AmericanTotal Time: 12 hrs 15 mins1. Get a pot, container or sealable plastic or cooking bag large enough to hold the turkey breast, and be sealed or covered. If you use a sealable bag to brine your turkey breast, you will still want to rest the bag in a container large enough to hold the turkey in case the bag tears. Clear out enough space in your fridge to hold the container with the breast in it. If you want to use a cooler, see the recipe intro for instructions
2. Heat the 2 cups water with the salt and sugar in a medium saucepan over high heat until the salt and sugar dissolve into the water, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add 2 cups of ice cubes to the solution, to cool the liquid to room temperature. Pour the brine solution into the container or bag, and add the gallon of ice water. Add any of the optional add-ins that you like.
3. Submerge the turkey breast in the brine, making sure it’s covered with liquid. If the turkey floats up, you can place a small heavy plate over it to keep it submerged. Cover the container or seal the bag, and place in the refrigerator.
4. Brine the turkey breast for 12 to 24 hours, but no longer than 24 hours or the brine will make the meat start to turn mushy when cooked.

Calories: 95 per servingCategory: Main Course1. Place a gallon of warm water in a clean bucket or cooler. Add the brown sugar, salt, shallots, garlic, herbs and spices. Stir to dissolve the salt and sugar.
2. Carefully submerge the turkey in the brine. Add an additional 1/2 gallon of water to make sure the brine covers the turkey entirely. (Or more water!)
3. If using a bucket, cover the bucket with plastic and place in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days. If using a cooler, filled it with ice to keep the turkey cold for up to 3 days.
4. The brine time should be determined based on the size of turkey. For a turkey 15 pounds or under, brine for just 24 to 36 hours. For a turkey larger than 15 pounds, brine for up to 3 days. *If you want to brine a smaller turkey for a longer period of time, reduce the salt to 1/2-3/4 cup, so it is not overly seasoned.

Calories: 586 per servingCategory: Main Course1. Add the water to a large pot and bring it to a boil. For the orange, peel it using a potato peeler or a knife, then cut it in half. Cut the lemon in half and juice it. Add the remaining brine ingredients to the pot (excluding the ice) and bring to a boil to dissolve all the salt and sugar. Add the lemon halves and orange halves after they've been juiced to the brine as well as the orange peel, lemon juice and orange juice, they will provide more flavor. Remove from heat and cool completely. To speed this up add about 4 cups of ice to the brine. I used my instant pot for this but any big pot that will fit the brine and the breast will work.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees. Remove the turkey breast from the brine solution and pat it dry with paper towels.
3. Skim some of the fat from the pan drippings if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you brine a turkey for cooking?

I kept it in the refrigerator overnight. The basic brine recipe is 4 cups of water + 2 tablespoons of salt + 1/4 cup Lakanto golden (or brown sugar or other sweetener) + 1 tablespoon crushed garlic. You might have to double or even triple this recipe depending on what type of container you put your turkey in to brine.

Is there sugar in turkey brine?

The use of sugar or maple syrup gives a sweet yet salty taste to the turkey, which is enjoyable but adds sugar to the turkey. This brine doesn’t call for any kind of sugar or sweetener.

Is brining the answer to moist delicious turkey breast?

But brining, brining is the answer to moist delicious turkey breast every time. All you need is a large container and enough space in your refrigerator for that container to fit.

How much salt do you add to brine?

This depends on the size of turkey, and how much salt you add to the brine. The general rule is 1 cup of salt for each gallon of water. Then brine the turkey overnight. However, I find if you add a bit more water you can brine the turkey longer for a better overall bird.
