Ingredients

* Water, 1 cup (or slightly more)

* kosher or sea salt, 3 tablespoons

* brown sugar, 2 tablespoons

* juices of lemons, limes, and maybe tangerines (one each, or squeeze and use rinds)

* fresh rosemary, sprig or 1 tablespoon chopped

* thyme, 1-2 teaspoons chopped

* sage, 1-2 teaspoons chopped

* roasted garlic (optional)

Directions

If you want to cook/roast poultry, especially turkey au natural, but want it really tender and moist......and who *wouldn't* want it tender and moist?!?...

then get together the above ingredients and let it sit overnight in either a bowl, pot, or zip-lock freezer bag.

Then, the next day...gently wipe that turkey down, smother with butter or oil, stuff the cavity with citrus and herbs, then roast.

PERFECTION!

just throw in a couple of smashed raw garlic cloves, roasted is too much effort for this step. Also, adding a couple of Tbls of soy sauce will help with skin color and flavor. An awesome prep for poultry. Thanks!
