Number Three:

Good Eats Roast Turkey
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown
Show: Good Eats
Episode: Romancing the Bird
(A Good Eats Thanksgiving)

Prep Time: 15 min
Inactive Prep Time: 7 hr 0 min
Cook Time: 2 hr 30 min
Level: Easy
Serves: 10 to 12 servings

1 (14 to 16 pound) frozen young turkey

For the brine:
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 gallon vegetable stock
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons allspice berries
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped candied ginger
1 gallon heavily iced water

For the aromatics:
1 red apple, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup water
4 sprigs rosemary
6 leaves sage
Canola oil

2 to 3 days before roasting:
Begin thawing the turkey in the refrigerator or in a cooler kept at 38
degrees F.
Combine the vegetable stock, salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, allspice
berries, and candied ginger in a large stockpot over medium-high heat.
Stir occasionally to dissolve solids and bring to a boil. Then remove the
brine from the heat, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate.
Early on the day or the night before you'd like to eat:
Combine the brine, water and ice in the 5-gallon bucket. Place the thawed turkey (with innards removed) breast side down in brine. If necessary,
weigh down the bird to ensure it is fully immersed, cover, and refrigerate
or set in cool area for 8 to 16 hours, turning the bird once half way
through brining.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Remove the bird from brine and rinse inside and out with cold water. Discard the brine.
Place the bird on roasting rack inside a half sheet pan and pat dry with
paper towels.
Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and 1 cup of water in a micro- wave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Add the steeped aromatics to the turkey's cavity along with the rosemary and sage. Tuck
the wings underneath the bird and coat the skin liberally with canola oil.
Roast the turkey on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F for 30
minutes. Insert a probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and
reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Set the thermometer alarm
(if available) to 161 degrees F. A 14- to 16-pound bird should require a
total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting. Let the turkey rest, loosely covered
with foil or a large mixing bowl for 15 minutes before carving.
