Prepare

dissolve salt and honey. Remove from heat, and
stir in thyme, garlic, allspice and pepper. Cool
completely, then refrigerate until chilled. |

Place turkey
in the stockpot of brine. Cover and refrigerate
24 hours, turning turkey occasionally. |
|

Remove
turkey from brine; rinse and dry. Slow cook in a
preheated 350°F. oven until an instant-read
thermometer inserted into the thickest part of
the breast registers 160° to 170°F. Brush skin
with oil if it appears dry at any time during
cooking. Cool to room temperature; wrap and
chill before slicing. |
