Pour 1 gallon of water into a large pot and add all of the remaining ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat and stir to dissolve the salt and sugar.
Pour remaining water into a container large enough to completely submerge the turkey. Add the hot brine and let the liquid cool completely, about an hour.
Carefully lower the turkey into the brine, making sure it is fully covered. Let the turkey sit in the brine overnight.
Remove the turkey from the turkey brine and pat it dry with paper towels.
The salt in the brine penetrates the meat, seasoning it evenly and keeping it moist. It also helps make the skin crispy!
