Preparación

paso 1
Fill a large bowl or pot with 1.5 litres of cold water and set aside. The pot should be large enough to hold the turkey plus 3 litres of water. Pour another 1.5 litres of cold water into a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the salt, sugar, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns, orange peel and coriander seeds and whisk until the salt and sugar have completely dissolved. Remove from the heat, then pour into the bowl or pot and allow to cool completely.
paso 2
Weigh the turkey and carefully add it to the container, making sure it is fully submerged in the brine. Leave it to brine for about 1 hour per 500g to ensure succulent, flavoursome meat, then drain it well (discarding any aromatics), pat dry and it is ready to roast.
