Ingredients:  
2 quarts apple juice
1 pound brown sugar (light or dark)
1 cup Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal or Morton)
3 quarts cold water
3 oranges, quartered
4 ounces fresh ginger, unpeeled and thinly sliced
15 whole cloves
6 bay leaves
6 large garlic cloves peeled and crushed
Directions:
Directions:
Combine apple juice, brown sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Heat on the stovetop just enough so that sugar and salt melt into the apple juice. Remove from heat and let mixture come to room temperature. To speed cooling, place the saucepan in a sink filled with ice water.

In a large non-reactive container, combine the cooled apple juice mixture with the remaining ingredients. When adding the oranges, squeeze each piece to release the juice into the container, then drop in the peel.

We have used a plastic container with a lid bought at Home Depo to put the whole turkey in with the brine. Then put the whole thing in a cooler with ice. Works!!
