Turkey & Poultry Brine: Cranberry and Citrus Brine

The Brine That Turns an Ordinary Holiday Bird Into the Star of the Table

Tart cranberry, bright citrus, and fragrant herbs — this award-winning brine was built for the holidays. SALTOPIA's Cranberry and Citrus Brine infuses your turkey (or any poultry) with a vibrant, layered flavor profile that keeps the meat juicy, tender, and anything but bland. One 16oz jug brines up to a 28lb bird. Smaller bird? Save half for your next roast.

Why Brine Your Turkey?

What does brining a turkey do? Brining is the process of soaking poultry in a seasoned liquid before cooking. The salt and aromatics in the brine are absorbed into the muscle fibers, helping the meat retain moisture during roasting and infusing it with flavor from the inside out — not just on the surface. The result is a noticeably juicier, more flavorful bird with every bite.

How to Use It

1. Defrost and thoroughly wash your turkey or chicken.
2. Place the bird in a tub or pot large enough to submerge it completely.
3. In a separate bowl, combine: 2 cups white wine, 2 cups chicken stock, ½ cup olive oil, juice of 2 freshly squeezed lemons, and the full contents of the 16oz brine (for birds 12lbs+). For smaller birds, use half and reserve the rest.
4. Pour the mixture over the bird. Add water as needed to fully submerge.
5. Refrigerate and brine for at least 24 hours before cooking.

Also works beautifully on pork loin, pork chops, and other proteins.

💡 Pro Tip: After brining, pat the bird completely dry before roasting — this ensures crispy, golden skin while locking in all the moisture and flavor the brine worked so hard to build.
