Got the turkey in the brine tonight. I used 1/3 cup of Cure #1 per gallon as indicated in the Insta Cure #1 container. The rest of the recipe remained the same. Wifey was not fond of the idea of having a 5 gallon bucket in the fridge for 6 days so I just iced it down with ice in a gallon zip lock and a frozen 1/2 gallon milk jug of water. This helps keep the turkey submerged. I put it out in the garage where it is cool and will change out the ice packs as needed.
In the brine!

Make sure your bucket is food grade!
