For a more intense apple flavor, use unfiltered apple cider. Adjust the amount of water to ensure the turkey is fully submerged in the brine. Brining the turkey may reduce the roasting time, so monitor the internal temperature closely. Aim for an internal temperature of 180°F when tested in the thickest part of the thigh.
