1 1/2 gallons fresh water
1 1/2 cups kosher salt
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups orange juice
1 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons herbes de provence
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
5 bay leaves
1 large apple, cut up
5 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter, melted

1
Combine all ingredients (except olive oil and butter) in a large pot and bring to a boil.
2
Turn off heat and let the brine cool completely.
3
Place a cleaned turkey (giblets removed) breast-side down into the brine. You can brine it right in the pot if it fits, or in a brining bag.
4
Refridgerate turkey in brine for 16 - 24 hours.
5
Remove turkey from brine and rinse really well to remove excess salt from surface of the bird. (All the good brine flavor will be inside the meat).
6
Pat your turkey dry with paper towels and brush a mixture of olive oil and butter all over your bird.
7
Roast your turkey according to your directions. (I roast mine in a roasting bag.).
