Servings: persons

4 cartons (32 ounces each) vegetable broth
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
1-1/2 teaspoons whole allspice
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
4 quarts cold water
2 turkey-size oven roasting bags
1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)
1 cup water
1 medium apple, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
4 fresh rosemary sprigs
6 fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon pepper

1
In a stockpot, combine the first six ingredients. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir until salt and brown sugar are dissolved. Remove from the heat. Add the cold water to cool the brine to room temperature.
2
Place a turkey-size oven roasting bag inside a second roasting bag; add turkey. Carefully pour cooled brine into bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible; seal bags and turn to coat. Place in a roasting pan. Refrigerate for 18-24 hours, turning occasionally.
3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the water, apple, onion and cinnamon. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes or until apples are tender; drain water.
4
Drain and discard brine. Rinse turkey under cold water; pat dry. Place cooked apple mixture, rosemary and sage in turkey cavity. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together.
5
Place turkey breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Rub with oil and pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 325u00b0 for 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 hours or until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170u00b0-175u00b0. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.) Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before carving; discard apple mixture and herbs.
