Turkey Brine (marinate)

1 gallon vegetable broth
1 cup sea salt
1 Tbsp. crushed dried rosemary
1 Tbsp. dried sage
1 Tbsp. dried thyme
1 Tbsp. dried savory ( or poultry seasoning)
1 gallon ice water

In extra large stockpot combine vegetable broth, salt, rosemary, sage, thyme and savory.  Bring to a boil, stirring frequently so salt dissolves.  Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.  When broth is cool pour into clean 5 gallon bucket.   Stir in ice water.

Wash and dry turkey.  Place turkey breast side down into brine.  Make sure cavity is filled.  Refrigerate overnight.  In the morning remove turkey from brine and rinse completly.  Bake as usually.
