Ingredients
Gather the following ingredients to make your kosher turkey:
- 1 kosher turkey, approximately 12-14 pounds
- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon dried sage
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 1 onion, quartered
- 3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 lemon, halved
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing your turkey for brining. Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey and rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Make the brine mixture by combining the kosher salt, brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and sage in a large pot with 4 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the salt and sugar are fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Once the brine has cooled, place the turkey in a large brining bag or a large pot and pour the brine over the turkey. Add enough cold water to cover the turkey completely. Seal the bag or cover the pot and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours.
4. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the turkey from the brine and rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and place the turkey on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan.
5. Prepare the turkey for roasting by brushing it with the melted butter. Season the turkey with additional kosher salt, black pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Stuff the cavity of the turkey with the onion, garlic, and lemon.
6. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Cook for approximately 2-2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the skin to brown and crisp up. Once the turkey is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving and serving.
