      How long should I dry brine?

      Peppercorns, salt, brown sugar, bay leaves, citrus zest are in it.

      Start it right now. I usually dry brine for three days, but one day will still be worth it. ;o)

      Agree! 3 days is ideal (here's how: https://food52.com/blog/8960-how-to-dry-brine-a-turkey) but even a single day will help.
