XL 5-Gallon 20 x 24 in. 4-Mil Heavy-Duty Whole Turkey Size
A whole turkey plus a few gallons of brine is a lot to wrangle. A stockpot hogs your fridge, and a thin kitchen bag is a spill waiting to happen. The Grill Masters Club XL 5-Gallon Brine Bag gives the bird and the brine one heavy-duty home.
At 20 x 24 inches, it's our largest brine bag, sized up from our 3-gallon bag for full-size holiday birds, big pork shoulders and family-size batches of marinated meat. Set it in a cooler or roasting pan, add the bird and brine, seal it and let the cold do the work.
-
✓ XL 5-gallon capacity with room for a whole turkey and the brine to cover it.
-
✓ Heavy-duty 4-mil polyethylene built to stand up to wing tips and bones.
-
✓ Seal-top closure. Press out the air and keep the brine against the meat.
-
✓ Frees up the fridge. Fits inside a cooler, roasting pan or stockpot.
How to Use
- Make sure the bird is fully thawed. Remove the neck and giblets.
- Set the open bag inside a cooler, roasting pan or stockpot to support the weight and catch any drips.
- Add a few inches of cold water and dissolve your brine mix (we use Super Soaker Bird Brine in the Turkey Takeover brine kit).
- Add the bird and top off with cold liquid until it is fully submerged. Press out the air and seal the bag.
- Brine in the fridge or an iced cooler for 12 to 24 hours. Keep it cold the whole time.
- Remove the bird, discard the brine and the bag, and pat dry. Do not rinse. Season and cook as usual.
Pitmaster Tip: Brining in a cooler? Pack the ice around the sealed bag, not in the brine. Your brine stays at full strength and the bird stays cold.
Why You'll Love It
- No more giving up a whole fridge shelf to a stockpot of brine.
- Thick enough to handle a full turkey without the worry of a thin kitchen bag.
- The same bag we pack in the Turkey Takeover kit, sold on its own for extra birds.
- Works year round for big marinades, not only on Thanksgiving.
