Turkey

For Christmas my Dad and I made a brine for a Turkey that we ate at a Family Christmas at my Grandmothers house. The Turkey was so GOOD! Here's what was in the brine;
10 lbs. Ice
1 gal. Hot Water
2 qt. Cold Water
3 lbs. Brown Sugar
1 lb. Pickling Salt
Hickory Liquid Smoke
Fresh Rosemary
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Parsley
Fresh Garlic
Black Pepper
(Note: The amount of spices added depends are what flavor you want to achieve)
