Halal Turkey Brine Recipe (with Boxed Halal Bone Broth)

Ingredients:

• 1 gallon Boxed Halal Beef Bone Broth (or a mix of bone broth + water)

• 1 cup kosher salt

• ½ cup brown sugar (optional for balance)

• 2 oranges, sliced

• 2 lemons, sliced

• 2 onions, quartered

• 6 cloves garlic, smashed

• 3–4 bay leaves

• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns

• 1 tablespoon allspice berries (optional)

• A few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary

Instructions:

1. Combine the base:
   In a large pot, add Boxed Halal Bone Broth, salt, and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir until the salt dissolves.

2. Add flavor:
   Turn off the heat. Stir in citrus slices, onions, garlic, herbs, and spices. Let cool completely.

3. Brine the turkey:
   Place your thawed Boxed Halal Turkey in a large container or brining bag. Pour the cooled brine over it, ensuring the turkey is fully submerged.

4. Refrigerate:
   Brine for 12–24 hours in the refrigerator.

5. Prep for roasting:
   Remove from brine, rinse lightly, and pat dry. Let the turkey rest uncovered in the fridge for 1–2 hours for perfectly crisp skin.

Pro Tip:

Use leftover Boxed Halal Bone Broth to baste your turkey while it roasts for extra depth and tenderness.
