INGREDIENTS

  • Brine

    • 3 quarts organic chicken stock
    • 🧂 ¾ cup kosher salt
    • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
    • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
    • 1 tablespoon dried savory
    • 1 tablespoon dried sage

  • Turkey

    • 1 (15 pound) turkey, neck and giblets removed
    • 1 large (25-pound capacity) brining bag

STEPS

1

Combine chicken stock, salt, rosemary, thyme, savory, and sage in a bowl.

2

Place turkey in the brining bag and fill with brine, making sure to fill the cavity. Transfer the bag to a 5-gallon pot filled with water. Slowly push the brining bag under the water while you seal it, squeezing air out as you go; remove as much air as possible so the bag does not float.

3

Attach a sous vide cooker to the edge of the pot. Wrap it in a dish towel for insulation. Cover the pot with plastic wrap to reduce evaporation. Set temperature to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C); cook for 18 to 24 hours.

4

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

5

Remove turkey from the brining bag and transfer to a large roasting pan. Discard brine.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
