I have been preparing turkey this was since 2001, and have not had a bad out come yet. I did increase the amount of sugar to 1 cup and added herbs to the hot water to steep. I usually make the brine the day before so it has time to cool.
I think Alton is the best and has a very intertaining and educational show. Love it!!

This was the best turkey I have made! We accidently added the aromatics to the brine but I think it made it even better. I will never cook a turkey anyway but this way.

This is the third year we have brined our turkey using Alton's method
I have combined this recipe with Tyler's cooking method 375 degrees
for 3 hrs. My Father in law who has never been a huge turkey fan loves
the way the brining method keeps the turkey from drying out. My Mother in law also made turkey soup out of the carcus and even with the brine not too salty.
Used a probe thermometer this year and did let it go to 168 then tented.
Used several computations to get a perfectly cooked turkey the original 15 minutes per pound method ,breast temp, and overall browning, tented breast for 1 hr and 20 minutes in the middle of cooking then uncovered for the last hour. This was the prettiest turkey
ever.

Our turkey turned out perfect. We had no problem with undercooking, however, temperarture probe placement is critical! If it goes in to far or too shallow, you will get an inaccurate reading. Flavor was excellent and the sandwiches were even better.

Brining was perfect, the aromatics were perfect. The cooking time/temperature were both off for my fresh 15 lb bird, which sat at room temp for an hour before it went into the 500? oven. My oven is accurate. My clock works. The in-dwelling meat thermometer registered 163? after 2 1/2hr. It sat, tented, for 25 minutes. The breast was mostly cooked, The legs and thighs: nowhere near done. So I hacked it up, placed the pieces on a cookie sheet and roasted them for an additional 45 minutes at 350?. They tasted excellent. (added bonus: twice roasted skin is very very crispy! I think this recipe would be excellent if the cooking time were extended to 3 - 3 1/2 hrs. and you ignored the meat thermometer....
