O.K. I just finished cleaning up the brine off the kitchen floor...(note to self, less brine, top off with water after the turkey is in the pot)
The turkey has been in the fridge since yesterday aft. but is froze like a rock and is in the brine now, should be good to go Sunday morning.
Brine
1 cup salt
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1tbs granulated garlic
1tbs worchester
1tbs black pepper
1tbs liquid smoke (surprisingly an all natural product)
About 5 qts water in a 12 qt stock pot & 15 lb. turkey, the pot's not big enough for the legs but that's O.K.
