Bigga Poppa says he doesn't brine. I brine and I believe it makes a huge difference in flavor and moistness. Here is my super brine recipe for 2 16 lb. turkeys. It's a little work, but well worth it. Start with a stock pot and 1 gallon of water. Add tablespoons of the following: dried rosemary (1), dried sage (1), dried thyme (1), tarragon leaves (1) crushed garlic (4), black pepper (3). Add cups of following: Worchester (1/2), brown sugar (1/2), kosher salt (2). Add the following: bay leaves (3), whole cloves (3), crushed allspice (6), crushed juniper berries (6), diced yellow onions (3), diced carrot (1) and diced celery stalk (1). Bring to a boil for 1/2 and then let cool. Then add into at least a 6-7 gallon container, 2 additional gallons of water, 2 quarts of apple juice and 2 (32 oz) vegetable broth. Then place turkeys into container for a period of 24- 48 hours.
