Chicken broth makes the perfect base for any poultry brine. Choose a good broth without too much salt and the flavor will be fantastic.

Preparation

Combine salt and hot water until it dissolves. Add honey, sugar, broth, bay leaves, and cloves to mixture. Once thoroughly mixed, add ice. Brine for 1 hour per pound/450 g.

Thoroughly rinse all the brine from the turkey before cooking. Otherwise there will be a salty flavor to the turkey. For a more detailed explanation, see my article on brining turkey.
