- Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and let simmer for 5-8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Place turkey in a stockpot or gallon tub that is big enough to hold the turkey and enough liquid to cover (I would recommend a brine bag or oven bag).

- Remove turkey and let dry.
- Pat dry if needed.
