<p>Adapted recipe for alton brown's roast turkey; a classic, aromatic, moist roast turkey with step-by-step photos and instructions. Kosher, meat. </p>

Frozen young turkey

Kosher salt

Light brown sugar

Vegetable Stock

Black peppercorns

Allspice berries

Whole cloves

Ground ginger

Heavily iced water

Apple,  cored and sliced

Onion

Cinnamon

Water

Leaves sage

Fresh thyme

Fresh marjoram

Rosemary

Cloves Fresh Garlic

Extra virgin olive oil

2 to 3 days before roasting, begin thawing the turkey in the refrigerator or in a cooler kept at 38 degrees f. 1 day before roasting, combine the vegetable stock, salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, allspice berries, cloves and ground ginger in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve solids and bring to a boil. Then remove the brine from the heat, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate.

step 1

The night before you'd like to eat, combine the brine, water and ice in the 5-gallon bucket. I like to line the bucket with a brining bag that i can close up once the turkey is in; it keeps the turkey more evenly immersed.

step 2

Place the thawed turkey (with innards removed) breast side down in brine. If necessary, weigh down the bird to ensure it is fully immersed.

step 3

Cover the bucket with a thick towel or foil (or close up the brining bag) and refrigerate or set in cool area for 8 to 16 hours, turning the bird once half way through brining.

step 4

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees f. Remove the bird from brine and rinse inside and out with cold water. Discard the brine. Place the bird on roasting rack in a roasting pan and pat dry with paper towels. If your bird has a popup timer inserted, leave it in (so juices don't leak out of the hole), but don't use it to measure the temperature--use a probe or meat thermometer instead. These are more accurate; if you follow the popup your meat may turn out overcooked and dry. Also, your turkey should have a metal or oven-safe plastic band around the legs to keep it trussed. If it doesn't, truss the legs together with some kitchen string.

step 5

Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and 1 cup of water in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes.

step 6

Add steeped aromatics to the turkey's cavity along with the sage, thyme, marjoram, rosemary and garlic.

step 7

Tuck the wings up and under the bird. Brush the turkey liberally with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the turkey on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees f for 30 minutes, turning the roasting pan around 15 minutes through cooking to ensure even browning.

step 8

Insert a probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees f.

step 9

Set the thermometer alarm (if available) to 165 degrees f. A 14 to 16 pound bird should require a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting. Turn the roasting pan around after about 1 hour of cooking to ensure even cooking.

step 10

Let the turkey rest, loosely covered with foil or a large mixing bowl, for 15 minutes before carving. This step is very important; it allows the juices to settle into the meat, making for a moister turkey.
