I have used this apple brine recipe for turkey the night before cooking for many years. It makes a turkey fall-apart moist every time.

Ingredients

1 gallon cold water, plus more as needed
2 quarts apple juice
1 cup kosher salt
6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
5 pounds ice cubes

Method

Line a cooler with a large food-safe bag. Add 1 gallon water, apple juice, and salt to the bag; stir until salt is dissolved. Add garlic.
To use, place turkey in brine, breast-side down; add more water as needed until turkey is completely submerged. Pour ice over turkey. Seal the bag, close the cooler, and let turkey brine overnight.
