The simple secret to a truly juicy roast turkey is to season the turkey with a rub a couple of days before roasting. This is called dry brining and it makes the flesh beautifully moist, and you can even do it while the turkey is still FROZEN!
It cooks faster, has crispy golden buttery skin, and your turkey is going to be so amazing it’s going to be remembered for years to come!!!

Brining = JUICY Roast Turkey
I think we can all agree that there is nothing more devastating than labouring for hours over the Thanksgiving or Christmas table centrepiece only to find that it’s dry – especially the breast meat. Even drowning it in gravy can’t completely compensate.
And in this day and age, there’s pretty much full consensus amongst all the greatest food authorities of the world that brining is the path to Juicy Roast Turkey. It doesn’t matter how much butter you use, whether you roast upside down, spin it around, baste 50 times – if you don’t brine, your turkey won’t be as moist.
Full stop. End of story!!
Take a close look at the turkey slice below – look how juicy it is!!!
What is brining?
Brining is the method whereby meat (turkey, in this case) is soaked in a salty water mixed with aromatics like bay leaves, peppercorns and garlic for a couple of days. This has the effect of trapping moisture in the flesh while it roasts, yielding super juicy turkey.
The method of soaking turkey in a giant bucket of salty water is called wet brining. Dry brining has the same effect, but is done by rubbing the turkey with a seasoned salt then left to “marinate” for a couple of days before roasting.
Dry brining is easier, more effective and tastier than wet brining!
Why dry brining is best
Wet Brining is more well known than Dry Brining. While both methods will yield a juicy roast turkey, there are a number of very important advantages of dry brining:
1. No mopping – I guarantee if you’re manhandling a bucket large enough for a 6 kg / 12 lb turkey AND bringing solution, there will be mopping involved at some stage…. Not to mention the question of whether your fridge has space for said bucket!! (Note: If you’re determined to wet brine, use your vegetable crisper! Genius idea from TheKitchn.)
2. The turkey tastes like turkey. Not water. One of the grievances of wet brining is that while the turkey is moist, the moisture tastes bland – not like turkey. Which makes sense, right? The turkey sucks in the brine and unless it is heavily flavoured with broth, the turkey is sucking in largely flavourless liquid. Whereas with dry brining, the turkey releases its own juices then sucks its own juices back in. Turkey on turkey flavour!
3. The roasting juices aren’t too salty to use for gravy. Another problem many people have with wet brined turkey is that the roasting juices can be too salty to use for gravy. You can compensate by plonking in raw potatoes into the gravy to suck out the salt, but….it’s just one more thing you can avoid by using dry brining!
4. You can start brining while the turkey is still partially frozen. It takes 3 days – yes, 3 WHOLE days – to defrost a 10 pound / 5kg turkey in the fridge. Whereas with this recipe I’m sharing, I accelerate the partial defrosting of the turkey in cold water then it finishes defrosting WHILE it is brining.
5. It roasts faster. It takes 1 hour 45 minutes to roast a 5.5 kg / 10 lb turkey. Compared to 2 1/2 hours for un-brined turkey.
Before we roast, we brine. And before we brine, we must thaw!
Turkey THAWING
A frozen turkey is a formidable block of ice that takes days to thaw. So you must factor this into your turkey-feasting timeline!
-
Thaw in fridge (long thaw) – allow 24 hours for every 1.5 – 2 kg / 3 – 4 lb of turkey (my 5.5 kg/11 lb turkey took 3 days)
-
Fast thaw in water – 30 minutes per 500g / 1 lb. Turkey needs to be in a leak proof bag / wrapping. Submerge in large sink of water, keep it submerged. Change water every 30 minutes.
Partially frozen turkey can be brined!
DRY BRINE CAN BE APPLIED WITH PARTIALLY THAWED TURKEY. You just need the turkey skin to be thawed enough to rub the salt in. Then brining + thawing will occur at the same time.
Cook times for turkey in the oven
How long to cook turkey in the oven:
-
5kg / 10 lb: 1 hr 45 min – 2 hrs
-
6 kg / 12 lb: 2 hrs 15 min
-
7kg / 14 lb: 2 hrs 30 min
-
8 kg / 16 lb: 2 hrs 45min
These are the cook times for a dry brined turkey (loosely stuffed with herbs and garlic) which cooks faster than un-brined turkey. Add an extra 15 – 20 minutes if your turkey is stuffed.
This is the total roasting time, including initial 30 minutes at high temperature. It works out at around 12 minutes per 500g / 1 lb.
Internal temperature of cooked turkey
75C / 165F using a meat thermometer inserted between the leg and the breast (see photo below for point to insert). This is the USDA recommended internal cooked temperature of turkey.
How to take the internal temperature?
Take the temperature of the turkey straight out of the oven. Insert the thermometer between the leg and the breast. Insert straight down until you hit bone, then pull back a bit. Hold still until the temperature registers on your thermometer and stays at the internal temperatures specified above.
How to make juicy roast turkey
I promised you easy, and easy you shall have! Here’s a rundown on the recipe:
-
Rub with a simple seasoned salt mixture – salt, thyme, paprika, garlic powder and pepper;
-
Wrap like a mummy in cling wrap (holds in all those juices!) and refrigerate for 2 days;
-
Stuff with herbs, garlic and pour in a good slosh of butter;
-
Slather with butter then roast upside down for 30 minutes (get those juices pooling in the breast);
-
Roast right side up for 45 minutes;
-
Baste with Garlic Herb Butter then roast for a further 30 minutes. (I do this at this stage to avoid burnt garlic-herb bits on the turkey)
When the internal temperature is reached (see section above), the most important thing to do is to rest the turkey for 30 minutes. This gives the turkey a chance to relax the fibres (ie more tender meat) and even more importantly, the juices get sucked back into the flesh (equals even juicier meat!).
Styling the turkey platter
Even if the turkey is only on the platter for a fleeting moment before being whisked away to be carved, I still feel like it’s worth making a wee bit of an effort so the turkey can have it’s moment spotlight.
While many opt for herb garnishes, I have a thing about making everything on a platter edible. So I create a bed of green leafage – watercress in this case (cheap, right shape, nice to “fan out” around edges) – with pops of colour from orange wedges (also for those creatures who like fruit with meat) and cranberries (thawed frozen ones).
How to Carve Turkey
I had ambitions to include a video of how to carve turkey, but doing such a video by yourself proved to be somewhat of a challenge. Turkey juice squirting everywhere, greasy hands, the challenge of new cameras and most frustrating, the hot breath of a fur ball under the table panting with excitement at the mere experience of being so close to such a giant hunk of meat.
Said video was a total fail. Will attempt again next year. In the meantime – this video is a good tutorial. 🙂
To Stuff or Not to Stuff?
This turkey is not stuffed with stuffing, just with garlic, herbs and a good slosh of melted butter (which does all sorts of good things to the breast when roasted upside down).
I do not stuff turkey because in order for the stuffing to be safe to eat, it needs to reach 75C / 165F – the same internal temperature of the turkey. The stuffing cooks last, so that means in order for the stuffing to be cooked enough to be safe enough to eat, the turkey is overcooked.
No thanks! Besides, stuffing baked separately SO much more delicious – here’s my all time favourite Stuffing recipe!
Cranberry Sauce or Gravy?
Why choose? Serve BOTH! Cranberry Sauce keeps for ages – make it well in advance.
As for gravy…. it’s not an option around these parts. My view is that it’s criminal to to waste those pan juices and NOT make a gravy!

Dry Brine Rub:
- 2.5 tbsp salt (Note 2)
- 2 tsp dried thyme , or other herb of choice
- 1 tsp paprika , sweet or ordinary
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For Roasting
- 150g / 10 tbsp unsalted butter , melted
- 1 tbsp (in total) sage, rosemary and thyme , finely chopped (Note 3)
- 3 garlic cloves , minced
- 2 heads of garlic , halved horizontally
- 1 onion , halved (brown, yellow, white)
- 2 small bunch mixed herbs , sage, rosemary, thyme, parsley (optional, Note 3)
- 1.5 cups / 375 ml dry white wine , or water (Note 4)
- Salt & pepper
Gravy (~ 4 cups/1L)
- 4 cups (1 litre) chicken broth / stock , low sodium
- 5 tbsp (60g) flour , plain / all purpose
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Dry Brining Preparation.
- Rub: Mix together the Rub.
- Prep Turkey: Pat the turkey dry with paper towels., inside and out. Remove giblets or anything else inside the turkey. (Note 5)
- Sprinkle: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt inside and use you hand to spread it (roughly is fine). Turn the turkey upside down, then rub 1 teaspoon of the salt mixture on the underside.
- Turn the turkey upright and rub the remaining salt on the turkey, using most on the breast - even some under the skin if you can.
- Wrap turkey mummy-like in lots of cling wrap or place the turkey in a sealable plastic bag (Note 6).
Brining (Note 7):
- Place turkey upside down in baking pan. Refrigerate.
- 24 hours later: Flip turkey so it's right side up.
- 24 (to 48 hours) later: unwrap turkey. The skin should be moist but not wet. If wet, pat dry. Leave out for 30 min before roasting.
Prepare for roasting:
- Preheat oven to 220C/425F (standard) or 200C/390F (fan).
- Place the onions and garlic in a roasting pan. Place a roasting rack on top - if you have one (Note 8 for sub).
- Stuff bunch of herbs + 2 garlic halves + 3 tbsp butter (45g) inside the turkey. Tie drumsticks together with kitchen twine (optional).
- Place turkey UPSIDE DOWN on the rack. Twist the wings so they are on top - see video. Brush with a bit of melted butter. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and pepper.
- Pour wine in roasting pan.
Roasting:
- Roast for 30 minutes.
- Use a tea towel to turn the turkey over. Brush with butter, sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and pepper.
- Turn oven down to 165C/325F (standard) or 150C/300F (fan). Roast turkey 45 minutes.
- Mix remaining butter with garlic and herbs. Brush turkey generously with butter.
- Roast turkey for a further 30 minutes or until a) the thermometer that comes with the turkey pops up (America) b) a thermometer inserted between the breast and leg reads 165F/75C. (Notes 9, 10). Cover loosely with foil if browning too much.
- Remove turkey onto serving plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 30 minutes before transferring to platter for presentation and carving (see in post for styling idea).
- Serve turkey with gravy and/or Cranberry Sauce.
Turkey Gravy
- Place roasting pan (with garlic, onion etc still in it) on the stove over medium high heat. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add broth and use a potato masher to mash the onion and garlic into the mixture. Use a wooden spoon to scrap the bottom of the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened.
- Strain into a bowl, pressing down to extract all the flavour out of the onion and garlic. Transfer to gravy boat.
Recipe Notes:
* Fast thaw in water – 30 minutes per 500g / 1 lb. Turkey needs to be in a leak proof bag / wrapping. Submerge in large sink of water, keep it submerged. Change water every 30 minutes. Rub can be applied to partially thawed turkey as long as skin is pliable enough to rub salt in. Add 1 tsp extra salt. Expect lots of juices from the thaw/brining process - ensure turkey is patted dry before roasting. As it brines, liquid may be red from blood from the inside of the turkey thawing - do not worry. Won't affect end result at all. Do not rinse, just pat dry with paper towels. DO NOT:
* Use this recipe for "self basting" or pre marinated turkeys, will be too salty. Check ingredients or nutrition - if there's salt or flavourings, the turkey has already been brined. Typically these include boxed and frozen turkeys at the supermarkets in Australia. **See HOW TO COOK PRE-BRINED TURKEY box below recipe.** 2. SALT - Use 1 tbsp salt for every 2 kg / 4 lb turkey. Use kosher / cooking salt. If using fine grain table salt, reduce by 1/4 tsp PER 1 tbsp of salt called for in the recipe. Do not use salt flakes (too hard to measure equivalent). 3. HERBS - I used an equal mix of sage, rosemary and thyme to make up 1 tbsp in total for basting partway through cooking. Can also use dried herbs of choice - use 2 tsp. Doesn't sound like much but we don't want to put herbs on the skin until partway though cooking otherwise it just burns. So by the time we baste with the herb butter, there's not much butter left. Just imparts a subtle fragrance more than anything, could even be skipped. Need one bunch to stuff inside the turkey, the other for the pan. 4. WINE - I use sauvignon blanc, pinot gris (I get discount wine for cooking). Any white wine is fine as long as it's not too sweet or woody / oaky. 5. Giblets are a parcel of turkey offcuts that are usually stuffed inside the turkey and are used to make the gravy. It usually comprises of: neck, heart and liver. Use the neck and heart for turkey gravy. 6. BAG - you can get resealable bags in America that are big enough for turkey. But I've found that cling wrap is the most effective - keeps the brine right up against the turkey skin. 7. BRINE TIME: 48 hours (2 days) is my base recipe, 3 days also great (a bit more seasoned). Even overnight is better than not brining at all! I even did 4 days last year and it not any different to 3 days, from what I could tell. 8. RACK SUB: Need to keep turkey skin elevated out of liquid in pan. Get a long strip of foil, scrunch to make a thick "rope". Loop to make a circle and secure. Place on top of onion, place turkey on top. Just need something to keep turkey a bit elevated off base of pan and the onion. If skin is in contact with onion when upside down, the skin will brown unevenly once you flip. 9. ROASTING TIME:
- 5kg / 10 lb: 1 hr 45 min – 2 hrs
- 6 kg / 12 lb: 2 hrs 15 min
- 7kg / 14 lb: 2 hrs 30 min
- 8 kg / 16 lb: 2 hrs 45min
How to cook pre-brined turkey
If you went to use this recipe only to realise you have a pre-brined turkey (see Note 1 in recipe), do not use this recipe as the brining will make your turkey too salty. Instead, make this recipe as follows:
-
Add better flavour – Make the Herb Garlic Butter in this Roasted Turkey Breast but only use 1/4 of the salt. Scale the recipe to your turkey weight – click on servings and slide until the turkey weight changes to the weight of your turkey. (Yeah, it’ll be a lot of butter! You can scale down if you want 🙂 ). Watch the video to see how I loosen the skin, then slather about 2/3 of the butter under the skin.
-
Flip turkey then rub just a bit of butter on the underside sprinkle with salt and pepper,. Roast per this recipe for 30 minutes on higher temp.
-
Flip turkey right side up then slather skin with 1/2 of the remaining butter sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast per this recipe for 45 min, then slather with remaining butter. Roast to finish cooking per this recipe. ,Voila!

Stephanie Lawrence says
I made this today and everyone said it was the best turkey they ever had! I followed the recipe exactly for my 20lb turkey. I also made the gravy with your recipe and it was delicious! I wish I could post the pictures of it! Thank you Nagi! I love all of your recipes!
Nagi says
So glad you enjoyed it! Happy Thanksgiving!! N x
Aim says
This recipe was soooo good that I had to leave a review for others to read. This Thanksgiving was my first time hosting and making a turkey. I was so worried because I didn’t realize until after I dry brined the turkey that it was already pre-brined (ahhhh). To salvage the turkey I rinsed the dry brine and patted it dry then continued with the recipe. The turkey came out super juicy and tasty! My whole family congratulated me on the wonderful turkey and the beautiful presentation. Thank you so much for this recipe! This Thanksgiving will be the most memorable one! For anyone who hasn’t tried this recipe yet, go make it now you won’t regret it!
Denise Duarte says
BEST TURKEY I HAVE EVER MADE! I actually don’t really like turkey. I have tried all kinds of recipes, and Nagi has come through AGAIN! This was easy, quick but SO delicious. Not quite sure what kind of magic spell this put on the turkey, but that bad boy was tasty, moist and hella good! Dozer, go give Nagi a big wet kiss for me!
Nagi says
He does that daily!!! N x
Melina says
I have never commented on a blog post before but I just had to say thank you to you Nagi! My husband and I just got married and hosted our first thanksgiving dinner and 90% of what I made was from your website. We did this turkey (which was incredible and everyone at the table said was the best turkey they have ever had), your crispy parmesan Brussel sprouts, baked mac and cheese, sausage stuffing and pecan pie. ALL of it was incredible. I cook one of your recipes at least once a week and recommend your blog to anyone who loves to cook. Thank you for all of the amazing recipes, and for helping make my first time hosting Thanksgiving a success. P.s. Cannot wait to buy your cookbook!
Nagi says
Congratulations on your wedding and your successful Thanksgiving Melina! N x
Geo Smith says
I’m teeing up my bird now. It’s a 15 pound turkey. If I cook it for 12 minutes per pound it works out to 3 hours total cook time. But the cook time chart in your notes says a 16 pound bird should take only 2 hours and 45 minutes. What gives?
Nagi says
Hi Geo – a pound is actually 453 grams but for ease we round it up when estimating times which accounts for that. As I said in the recipe, the ONLY foolproof way to be sure a turkey is cooked correctly is a meat thermometer. A variance of 15 minutes would not be unusual depending on your oven, the start temperature of the bird etc. I HIGHLY recommend having one for cooking all meats but especially turkey. Happy Thanksgiving!! N x
vickswong says
HELP!
i wanted to use this recipe but can only get my hand son a brined turkey. I saw the additional instructions on how to cook a brined one. But i need some clarification
1) do u slather the butter 1 day in advance of more?
2) it’s a 8kg turkey, so roast at 30 (higher temp) and 45 (lower temp) and additional time needed according to the weight of the turkey.
But do i keep basting it during the additional time?
first time doing thanksgiving dinner so i’m a ball of nerves!!
thanks and love to anyone who replies!
vicks
Nagi says
Hi Vicks – just put the butter on before roasting, no need to put the butter on so far in advance. And yes, you follow the rest of the original recipe with regards to basting it. Good luck! 🦃 N x
Vickswong says
Just wanted to do an update. We had thanksgiving yesterday night and used a pre brined bird and followed your recipe (both this and the pre brined on u included) and it went off without a hitch!!! Thank you for your amazing recipes again Nagi!!!
I have a golden retriever at home too and she thoroughly enjoyed the leftovers. I lied, there was actually no leftovers but we did save a portion for the pups hahaha
Vickswong says
Omg thank you nagi! You’re a lifesaver! Will update after thanksgivings to let u guys know how it went! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 But I’m sure like all your tried and tested recipes, it will be a hit ❣️
Kazza402 says
Hi Nagi
I am just wondering whether I can cook the turkey as you have instructed in a hooded bbq – I have a small oven and therefore cannot fit the roasted potatoes and veggies. Thank you.
Nikki says
How much time would you recommend for a 21 lb. turkey? Should I go with the 12 minutes a pound you mention above?
Nagi says
Hi Nikki – yes please follow the chart on the recipe and the timing there. N x
Nick says
Hi Nagi,
I love your recipes! Your brisket made me the hit of my Gameday party! I have an 8 pound Turkey that I am hoping to use your recipe for! Would I just half all of the cooking times? Thanks!
Nagi says
Hi Nick – see the notes below the recipes for the timing on different sized birds! N x
Benaz Maswa says
Hi Nagi,
Thanks for the recipe. I made this for my son’s bday ( he wanted to eat a turkey on his bday and he is 4).. I got the juicy and tender breast..
Although I had some bits on thighs (at the sides under the joint on the drumstick) which got a little dry and hard..and also I did not have drippings in my pan to make a gravy.. no sure why that happened.. Any suggestions for next time? I would think its over cooked but then the breast was PERFECT!
Jane says
I’m a little behind giving this feedback but I just had to come back and let you and all your readers know just how awesome this recipe and method is.
I hosted Christmas in 2020 and used the dry brining method and I will NEVER cook a turkey any other way now!! The bird was so juicy, moist and delicious, including the days following when eating the leftovers.
My husband commented that it was the BEST turkey he had ever eaten (and said it in front of his mum who usually hosts)!
Thanks for introducing me to the world of dry brining!!!!
Kae says
Forgot to give 5 stars!
Kae says
As I am a devotee of your recipes, when it came to roasting turkey, I turned to your site.. We followed your instructions to a tee and roasted a 6.5kg turkey on Boxing Day. And well…your method is pure magic! The turkey was incredibly moist and super delicious! Best we’ve ever had! Thanks you so much for another amazing recipe! Sadly, we couldn’t share it with family and friends given the Covid restrictions in our part of the world (B.C. Canada), but when we can all safety gather again, we will celebrate with your turkey recipe. Thanks once again, Nagi!
Danielle Webb says
Just wanted to say thank you and that the turkey legs turned out insanely good, with juice that pooled with every slice. I did them 30 mins upside down, and 30 mins right side up. They were dry brined for 1.5 days. I added a crushed garlic clove to the rub as I didn’t have any powdered garlic. Gorgeous cold as well – the legs were huge, so plenty of leftovers!
Annabelle says
My first time ever roasting a Christmas turkey – Amazing!!! Thank you Nagi for such a great recipe. I’ve been following you for about a year now, and had full confidence that this turkey would work! All guests were impressed on how moist the breast was. I think I’m going to be on turkey duty for years to come now!
Jilly says
For the first time in 17yrs I wasn’t able to spend Christmas in Scotland with my family☹️ I was very nervous about making my first Christmas dinner for my husband’s Dutch family and wanted to make it special. This recipe was brilliant, the best turkey I have ever had! I was a wee bit concerned it would be too garlicky but the garlic and herb flavours were very subtle and the gravy was delicious and so easy to make. I made your baked Brussel sprouts and glazed carrots with it, it was a Nagi feast! Thank you for all your amazing recipes, I hope you and your family (and of course the lovely Dozer) had a wonderful Christmas X
Ileana says
Thank you, Nagi! I made a 4 kg turkey breast dry brined and it turned out quite amazing! My gourmands around the table were delighted! And they are not so easy to satisfy! 😉
Emma says
What a great recipe and so detailed. Thank you so much. Cooked our Christmas turkey after dry brining for 3 days and it was so delicious. Slightly overcooked because I couldn’t believe a 5 kg turkey could cook in 2 hours, but even so it was still moist and delicious. If I’d had faith in the roasting times given it would have been perfect and really juicy. Thank you so much. Love all your recipes.
Alena says
This is the most amazing turkey I’ve ever had! I made it tonight for dinner and everyone at the table kept telling me how delicious it was. Thank you for another five star recipe, I have tried so many of yours and they’re always incredible ❤ Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you and Dozer from Canada 🇨🇦
Christi says
I’ve made this twice this year together with gravy and cranberry sauce with orange zest. Took 1hr 45 mins for a 2.5kg turkey. Thank you thank you thank you for this amazing recipe.
