Turkey Brining Tips & Cooking Methods

For best results, start with a fully thawed turkey and keep it refrigerated at 40°F or below throughout brining. After brining, discard the used liquid and pat the turkey thoroughly dry before seasoning and cooking.

This brine is suitable for smoking, oven-roasting, or deep-frying. For deep-frying, the turkey and cavity must be completely dry before entering the oil. Use a food thermometer and cook turkey to 165°F in the thickest part of the breast and thigh.

Ask the Pitmaster: Turkey Brining Questions

How long should I brine a Thanksgiving turkey?

Plan on approximately 1 hour per pound, up to a maximum of 24 hours, while keeping the turkey refrigerated at 40°F or below. For example, a 12 lb turkey needs approximately 12 hours, while a 16 lb turkey needs approximately 16 hours.

Does brining help keep turkey from drying out?

Yes. Brining helps turkey retain moisture during cooking, especially in lean breast meat. For the best results, follow the recommended brining time and use a food thermometer to avoid overcooking.

Can I use this turkey brine for smoking?

Yes. Butcher BBQ Holiday Turkey Brine works well for smoked turkey. Brine your fully thawed turkey, pat it dry, add your preferred BBQ seasoning, and smoke until the thickest part of the breast and thigh reaches 165°F, measured with a food thermometer.

Can I use this brine for oven-roasted turkey?

Absolutely. You can brine your turkey before roasting it in a conventional oven. After brining, pat it dry, season as desired, and roast until the thickest part of the breast and thigh reaches 165°F, measured with a food thermometer.

Can I use this product for deep-fried turkey?

Yes. Fully thaw your turkey and follow the brining directions. Before frying, make sure the turkey's exterior and cavity are thoroughly dry. Follow your fryer's safety instructions, never put a wet or partially frozen turkey into hot oil, and verify that the thickest part of the breast and thigh reaches 165°F with a food thermometer.
