Directions:
- Combine sugar, salt and 3 to 4 quarts of water in a large bowl.
- Stir until sugar and salt dissolve.
- Add remaining ingredients except for the remaining 1.5 gallons of water.
- Double bag 2 heavy duty, unscented trash bags (not made of recycled materials) and then put them in an ice chest large enough to hold the turkey.
- Place turkey in bags, pour brine and remaining 1.5 gallons of water over turkey - there should be enough liquid to completely cover bird.
- Press out air in bags and tightly close.
- Keep turkey cold with bags of ice which will also help keep it submerged.
- Brine for 12-24 hours.
