Step by Step Method

Step 1

Mix together the water, coffee, salt and maple syrup and stir until salt is dissolved.

Line a 2.5 gallon bucket with a clean sturdy plastic bag and pour the liquid mixture into the plastic bag (I use a clear garbage bag).

Toss in all the remaining ingredients except for turkey and ground pepper.

Step 4

Remove the neck and bag of organs from the inside of turkey and rinse the turkey inside and out; place in the plastic bag.

Bring the bag up close to the turkey, removing as much of the air as you can and seal with a twist tie.

Place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Step 7

Remove the turkey from the brine and discard brine.

Step 8

Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry.

Step 9

Place the turkey in a roasting pan and sprinkle with fresh ground pepper; add water about half an inch up the sides of pan and cover.

Step 10

Cook in a preheated 350 degree oven for 2 hours, remove cover and continue to cook until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of turkey reads 165 degrees.

Step 11

Allow turkey to rest at least 15 minutes before carving.
