Preparation

Step 1

Boil 1 gallon water and salt , stirring to help dissolve the salt. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 2

Wash the turkey thoroughly, and remove the innards. Place the turkey in a brining bag and add the salted water. Place the bag in a large stock pot and add more water if needed to ensure the bird is completely covered. Refrigerate overnight.

Step 3

Remove the turkey from the brine and wash it well inside and out. Pat dry. Carefully separate the skin on the breast and insert a pad of butter on each breast. Rub the entire bird with butter, salt, pepper and sage. Bake according to package directions based on weight of bird.

Check the turkey about 20-30 minutes before the recommended cooking time because brining does shorten the cooking time. Regular table salt can be substituted, but you will need to use 1/2 C instead of a full cup otherwise your turkey will be much too salty.
