Dry Brine Turkey Recipe

0 1-2 days before you'll be cooking your turkey, remove it from its packaging, take out the giblet package, pat it dry, and place it in a roasting pan.
1 Add the salt, dried herbs, and cracked black pepper to a small bowl, then whisk to combine.
2 Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the salt mixture in the turkey cavity, then separate the turkey skin from the breasts and put one teaspoon of the salt mixture under the skin on each side. Sprinkle the rest of the brine liberally over the turkey, then cover and refrigerate for 1-2 days.
