Directions:
- To make the brine- In a large stockpot combine first 13 ingredients and bring to boil.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool COMPLETELY.
- This can be made a day in advance.
- Rinse turkey and pat dry.
- Place in a large pot, or even a plastic tub big enough to hold turkey, but small enough to fit in your refrigerator.
- Add brine and enough water to cover.
- Cover container and allow to marinate overnight.
- Remove turkey from the brine and drain.
- Make spice butter by combining ingredients and mixing well.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Stuff turkey (if desired).
- Rub turkey with spice butter and place in roasting pan.
- Roast for 30 minutes then reduce heat to 390 degrees.
- Rotate pan every 30 minutes, baste as needed until the temperature reaches 180 degrees in the thigh (or if you used a breast, 160 degrees).
- If needed cover areas with foil to prevent overbrowning.
- Allow to rest 30 minutes before carving.
- This is a VERY juicy turkey recipe (you may need goggles while you cut it... haha).
