Joe s Turkey Brine

1 gallon low-sodium vegetable broth

½ gallon apple cider

½ gallon apple juice

2 quarts water

1 ½ cups kosher salt

3 tablespoons poultry seasoning

3 tablespoons onion powder

1 tablespoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon crushed dried rosemary

1 tablespoon rubbed dried sage

1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves

In a large stock pot over medium heat, pour in the vegetable broth, apple cider, apple juice, and water; stir in kosher salt, poultry seasoning, onion powder, black pepper, rosemary, sage, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until all salt has dissolved, and boil for 30 minutes to extract flavors from herbs. Remove from heat, and allow to cool to room temperature before using as a turkey brine; allow brined turkey to marinate overnight.
