How Long Should You Dry Brine A Turkey?
The length of time to dry brine a turkey depends on the weight of the turkey. As a rule of thumb, for every pound of turkey, dry brining should be done for at least 1 hour, up to a maximum of 3 days. So, for a 12-pound turkey, the ideal brining time is between 12-36 hours. It is essential to ensure that the turkey is completely dry before roasting.
