  • 1 Anjou pear, sliced
  • 1 head garlic, cloves peeled and crushed

  • 1/2 bunch fresh rosemary, or to taste
  • 1/2 bunch fresh thyme, or to taste
  • 1/2 bunch fresh sage, or to taste
  • kitchen twine
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sea salt
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dried bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons dried vegetable flakes
  • 2 tablespoons multi-colored whole peppercorns
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 1 gallon iced water
  • 1 (11 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed

  1. Combine chicken stock, vegetable stock, and with wine in a large pot. Toss in apples, oranges, lemons, pear, garlic, and onion. Tie rosemary, thyme, and sage together with kitchen twine; add to the pot. Stir in 1 cup water, salt, sugar, dried peppers, vegetable flakes, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil; stir to dissolve salt and sugar.
