The best way to prepare a turkey for Thanksgiving is to brine it. Brining helps to keep the turkey moist and flavorful during cooking, and also helps to keep the turkey from drying out. To brine the turkey, mix together 1 cup of kosher salt, 2 cups of sugar, 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and 4 cups of water in a large bowl or container. Place the turkey inside the brine and let it sit for at least 12 hours before roasting.
