For optimal results, submerge the turkey in the brine for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours, in the refrigerator. Ensure the turkey is fully submerged to brine evenly. If you don't have a stockpot large enough, use a food-safe bucket or brining bag. Always ensure the container is clean and sanitized. To add a hint of sweetness and complexity, consider adding 1/4 cup of maple syrup or honey to the brine. Experiment with other herbs and spices to customize the brine to your liking. Rosemary, peppercorns, or bay leaves would be excellent additions.
