Here is how you make Hawaiian-Style Turkey Brine:

Combine all ingredients. Place turkey in a large dish or container and pour brine over. (Reynold's oven roasting bag for turkeys or Ziplock XL storage bag). Cover and allow to brine .....you do not want any part of the turkey above the surface of the brine. Refrigerate for at least one hour for every pound of turkey. 10 hours should be the minimum for brining a large turkey. Brining for too long can ruin the flavor and make the turkey too salty. 24 hours is the maximum amount of time to brine. If using a smaller turkey, use the hour per pound rule.Pour off brine and discard. Cook accordingly. Serving size 4 ounces. 12# Turkey = 48 servings.
