1 turkey or turkey breast
2 c. pickling salt
1 c. sugar
5 gallon bucket
Place turkey in bucket and fill so water covers turkey. Remove turkey to a platter while you mix brine. To water in bucket, add salt and sugar. Mix well and put turkey back in bucket. Seal lid completely. Leave in brine for 2-3 days. Remove turkey, rinse the brine off and prepare for baking.
**If it's winter, I just usually leave the bucket in my garage. If not, then I just add ice to the brine to keep it cold.
