text: need help with measurments!? ok i need some help on this. i have a 23-24 lbs turkey. i have a recipe for a brine but its for a 12-15 lbs turkey. i forgot how to make the measurements higher. can someone help me.   here are the ingredients:   (12 to 15-pound) turkey  for the brine:  2 gallons water  1 cup sugar  1 cup kosher salt  2 lemons, sliced in 1/2  4 bay leaves   please help. dear friend...  if you will look closely at the weight of the first bird, and the weight of the 23 - 24 lb bird, you will see that the bird you are trying to cook is twice the weight of your original recipe bird. so, just double the recipe quantity of ingredients.
