Helen -- Put 2 cups of unsalted chicken stock in a saucepan and add 3 T of kosher salt, 1/3 c brown sugar, 5 peeled garlic cloves, a couple of bay leaves, a few sprigs of rosemary, a small palmfull of black peppercorns, and 1/4 c of vinegary hot sauce (I used a homemade Red Savina concoction that I have quarts upon quarts of). Bring the whole mixture up to a simmer for a minute or two, just to dissolve the salt and sugar, and then let the mix come back down to room temperature. Strain through cheesecloth and inject. This makes about the right amount for a 14-16 lb bird. Good luck. Matt --- "Helen L. Gillis" <HelenGillis@earthlink.net> wrote: > Matt - > wadda ya put in the marinade for the turkey???
