Ingredients

  • 2 cups kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons poultry seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 gallon vegetable broth
  • 2 quarts tomato juice
  • 1 quart water
  • 4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 ounce basil leaves

Method

  • Stir salt, poultry seasoning, onion powder, and black pepper together in a large stockpot. Pour vegetable broth, tomato juice, and water into the stockpot and stir to dissolve the salt mixture; add sun-dried tomatoes and basil leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook the brine, stirring occasionally, until the seasonings are completely dissolved, about 20 minutes.
