When it comes to a brine, I believe that you can add anything you want. I brined my turkey last year and I actually pulled off Thanksgiving dinner.... it was my first attempt as well, so I was impressed. —MoodyCook

Directions
  1. Boil water add all ingredients add frozen turkey or not... brine should be cold though.... however frozen turkey can act as a giant ice cube
  2. This brine is fun because it is easy. I don't think a lot of people understand the importance of the brine. Let marinate overnight
