Instructions

  1. In a pot, add 1 quart water, salt, brown sugar, juice and juiced fruit (reserve zest for citrus herb butter).
  2. Bring pot to a simmer long enough to dissolve salt and sugar. Pour brine into a large brining bucket and add enough ice to completely cool.
  3. Carefully add turkey to brine plus approximately one gallon of water or enough to completely submerge entire turkey. Refrigerate or chill in a cooler at or below 41ºF for at least 8 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  5. Combine garlic, Dijon mustard, herbs, butter, Parmesan cheese and citrus zest in a bowl to create a paste.
  6. Remove turkey from brine, pat dry with paper towels then place on a roasting rack.
  7. Using your hand or a spoon, spread paste over turkey as well as under the skin.
  8. Roast turkey at 400ºF for 20 minutes.
  9. Reduce heat to 350ºF then continue to roast at 15 to 20 minutes per pound or until internal temperature reaches at least 170ºF.
  10. Remove from oven, cover with foil and allow to rest at least 25 minutes before carving.
