Unsaved Green Curry Brined Roasted Turkey

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups Morton Coarse Kosher Salt, plus more as needed for seasoning
  • 1/2 cup H-E-B Brown Sugar
  • 2 cups H-E-B Peeled Garlic Cloves, lightly crushed
  • 3 Medium shallot(s), roughly chopped
  • 14 Serrano pepper(s), cut in half
  • 1 bunch Cilantro, roughly chopped, stems included
  • 1 Large lime(s), peel only
  • 4 stalks Lemon grass, lightly crushed
  • 1 cup Fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced into chunks
  • 1/4 cup Rice vinegar
  • 16 lb Fresh whole turkey, fully thawed if using frozen, giblets and neck removed before brining
  • 1/4 cup H-E-B Select Ingredients Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. In a pot add 1 quart of water, salt, sugar, garlic, shallots, serrano peppers, cilantro, lime peel, lemon grass, ginger and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer long enough to dissolve salt and sugar.
  2. Pour brine into a large brining bucket, and add enough ice to completely cool.
  3. Add turkey to brine and approximately one gallon of water or enough to completely submerge the entire turkey. Refrigerate or chill in a cooler at or below 41ºF for at least 8 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  5. Remove turkey from brine, rinse briefly under cold water then pat dry. Place on a roasting rack then brush olive oil over skin and liberally season with salt and pepper to coat.
  6. Roast turkey 15 to 20 minutes per pound or until internal temperature reaches at least 170ºF. Cover with foil and allow to rest for at least 25 minutes before carving.
  7. Chef's Note: Use any pan drippings to make your gravy. It will have great spice notes from the brine.
