Apple Cider Brine for thanksgiving turkey

===== Ingredients =====

  * 3 cups apple juice (Or Apple Cider)
  * 2 gal. cold water
  * 4 Tbsp. rosemary leaves (Fresh)
  * 5 cloves garlic (Minced)
  * 1 1/2 cups kosher salt
  * 2 cups brown sugar
  * 3 Tbsp. peppercorns
  * 5 whole bay leaves (or more)
  * 3 oranges (Large) - just the peel, shaved off with a knife

===== Procedure =====


Combine all the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve. Turn off heat, cover and allow the brine to cool completely. 

Place the uncooked turkey in a large brining bag or pot, pour in the brine solution to cover the turkey, and refrigerate for 16 to 24 hours. 

Before roasting, remove the turkey from the brine (discard the brine) and submerge the turkey in a pot or sink filled with fresh, cold water for 15 minutes. This removes excess salt from the outside. 

Remove the turkey from the water, pat dry, and cook according to your normal roasting method.
