In reply to Luci. No, you do not need to double the recipe.

Is this being recipe also suited for.a 21 pound turkey, or do you need to double the recipe?

this is a great recipe! I hadn’t cooked a turkey in some time and wanted to do a brineing recipe. The end result is amazing! So good and incredibly moist and flavorful. I brined somewhat longer than recommended and was still very good. I was confused in how long to cook the turkey based on the recipe but I used a meat thermometer and aimed for 165 degrees and my 18lb turkey was about 3.5 hours give or take. This is now my go to method of cooking a turkey

I made this last year and will make every year . It was my first time making the turkey and it turned out awesome! I was so proud! Super easy. This is a keeper!

Just wanting to clarify, does the recipe call for apple cider or apple cider vinegar?

In reply to K. JOHNSTON. Hi, there! No, the recipe is for a 12 pound bird. In past, I've cooked a 21 pound bird (about 5 hours was perfect) and a 23 pound bird (about 5.5. hours was perfect), but every oven is different! :)

Is the time given for an 18 to 20 lb bird? That doesn’t seem like near enough time to cook a Turkey that large. I really want to try your method this year but I need to be able to plan the meal around the actual cooking time. Please can you clarify?

This looks amazing! If I made 2 twelve pound birds side by side in the oven (family loves dark meat) would you think the time would still be the same? Can’t wait for the leftovers!
