Out of this World Turkey Brine

Best brine for smoked turkey around. This recipe was given to me by my uncle. He is always smoking meat.

2 gallons water

1 1/2 cups canning salt

3 tablespoons minced garlic

1 tablespoon ground black pepper

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/3 cup brown sugar

In a large bucket or container large enough to hold your turkey, mix together the water, salt, garlic, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Store in a refrigerator, and soak turkey for 2 days before smoking or roasting.

Editor's Note for Out of this World Turkey Brine: This recipe uses canning or kosher salt, not table salt. Using table salt in this amount will make the brine too salty.
