Instructions

  1. 1 Combine chicken stock, salt, rosemary, thyme, savory, and sage in a bowl; stir until salt is dissolved.
  2. 2 Place turkey in a brining bag and pour brine over it, making sure to fill the cavity. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible to prevent floating.
  3. 3 Submerge the sealed turkey in a 5-gallon pot filled with water. Attach a sous vide cooker to the side of the pot. Wrap the pot with a dish towel for insulation and cover with plastic wrap to minimize evaporation.
  4. 4 Set the sous vide cooker to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C) and cook for 18 to 24 hours. (Maintain water level as needed during cooking.)
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  6. 6 Remove turkey from the brining bag and transfer to a large roasting pan. Discard brine.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
