dill brine for turkey
I was thinking that a dill brine would be good for turkey but I have no idea how I might make it. Does anyone have any ideas? I can't find anything similar anywhere. I am not thinking a pickle brine but something along the lines of dill, oil, and other spices which I can't figure out.

Try steeping the dill in vodka, then putting the dill-infused vodka into your brine. The essential oils in dill mix poorly with water, but better with alcohol. Since alcohol mixes well with water, it should do a reasonably good job of gettintg the dill flavor into the bird.
