Here is a very simple and easy brine recipe that is based off of Alton Browns. I left out the candied ginger as it is expensive for a little spice bottle of it. This is so easy and adds tons of juicy flavor to turkey and chicken (or probably any type of bird) no matter how you cook it (smoking, oven, deep frying, etc).ombine the vegetable stock, salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, allspice berries, and candied ginger in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve solids and bring to a boil. Then remove the brine from the heat, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate.
