APPLE-SPICE BRINE FOR TURKEY BREAST



Apple-Spice Brine for Turkey Breast image

This is the recipe I developed for a turkey breast destined for my stove-top smoker. I'll never make another turkey breast without using this method. It was so moist and flavorful! UPDATE: Just smoked a large turkey breast on the stove top using an enamel roasting pan, with lid. I made a small tray of aluminum foil for the wood chips and placed at one end on the bottom of the roaster . Placed a sheet of heavy duty foil on top of wood chips as a drip tray (turned up corners to catch juices). Then placed a small rack (I used a collapsible steam basket) on top of the foil to hold the meat. Once smoke started, I placed the roaster lid on top and then crimped heavy duty foil over the top. Worked perfectly! Besure to run the vent on the stove or open a window slightly. The smell within the house was heavenly!

Make and share this Mean Chef's Apple Brine recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Bekah

Categories     Apple

Time 50m

Yield 6 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 quarts apple juice
1 lb brown sugar
1 cup kosher salt
3 quarts water
3 oranges, quartered
4 ounces fresh ginger, thinly sliced
15 whole cloves
6 bay leaves
6 garlic cloves, crushed

Steps:

  • bring apple juice, sugar and salt to a boil over high heat, skim foam, let cool to room temperature.
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Brine turkey for 24 hours.
  • Quantity is sufficient for a 14 pound turkey.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices.
  • Use fresh spices: Whole spices will give your brine the most flavor. If you don't have whole spices, you can use ground spices, but use half the amount.
  • Let the brine cool completely before using: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Brine the chicken for at least 4 hours, but no longer than 24 hours: This will give the chicken time to absorb the flavors of the brine.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Apple-spiced tea brine is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your chicken. The brine is made with apple cider, spices, and herbs, and it helps to keep the chicken moist and juicy while it cooks. This recipe is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, green beans, or mashed potatoes.
