step 1ingredients 1 quart Water
1/2 cup packed Brown Sugar
10 Allspice Berries
10 whole Cloves
10 whole Black Peppercorns
5 whole Star Anise
1/2 cup Kosher Salt
one 11 to 15 pound Turkey (cut into 8 pieces)instructions For the Turkey: In a very large resealable bag, combine the water, sugar, allspice, cloves, peppercorns, star anise, and 1/2 cup salt. Seal tightly and shake to dissolve the salt and sugar. Add the turkey parts, seal tightly and place in a large bowl. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight. -
step 2ingredientsinstructions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

step 3ingredients Extra Virgin Olive Oilinstructions Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse well and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the brine. Rub each piece of turkey with olive oil to lightly coat. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the bottom with olive oil. Working in batches, sear the turkey parts until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned pieces to a half sheet pan and arrange in a single layer.
-
step 4ingredientsinstructions Roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each piece registers 170 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Start checking the pieces after 40 minutes and transfer each piece from the pan to a platter as it's cooked through. Smaller parts, like the thighs, will be done earlier and the larger pieces, like the drumsticks, can take up to 1 hour. Serve with the cranberry chutney.
