Elf said:You can also put the turkey in a large garbage bag, then fill it with the brine, twist ty it closed.
Thank you, Elf, you just reminded me of what I did last year. I used a Ziploc Big Bag for the brine and turkey. This worked exceptionally well because I could expell nearly all of the air from the bag and then ziploc it closed. The bag is wonderful, too, because it's really, really heavy plastic. I'm going to use the Big Bag again this year.
