   2      cups          brown sugar
   1      cup           maple syrup
     3/4  cup           kosher salt
   2      tablespoons   garlic powder
   6      large         bay leaves
   3      tablespoons   ginger
   3      tablespoons   black pepper
   6                    cloves
   1 1/2  cups          soy sauce
   1      tablespoon    allspice
   2      teaspoons     dried thyme
   3      quarts        water

Preparation:

Here's one I used last year with GREAT results: This recipe is enough for a 12-to 14-pound turkey. The spicing is very faint, mostly you taste the salt and a bit of the sugar. It's a bit like a very elegant version of commercial smoked turkey, only without the smoke. Double the recipe for a 24-28 lb. turkey. Check your container's (crock) volume. Combine spices in saucepan. Add 1 quart water and bring to boil. Simmer 5 minutes, then add to remaining 2 quarts of cold water. Chill thoroughly before using brine. Makes 3 quarts (enough for 12- to 14-pound turkey). Brine for 2 to 4 days, turning the bird twice a day. Cook turkey 12 minutes per pound: 450F for 30 minutes, then, 375F for remainder of time.
