I soaked mine over night last nigt. The bird is on the smoker now. I used a 5 gallon bucket with snap on lid. The lid isn't essential. Get a new clean buckrt at Home Depot or someplace else. I used 3 cups of kosher salt to 3 gallons of water for about 12 hours. I've done spices and stuff in past years, but this time just salt water. Good luck & Happy Thanksgiving.
p.s. I used the lid because I left it outside overnight - it was cold enough here. You can add a bunch of ice if the temperature is a concern. Given the temperature concern, the cooler idea seems pretty good too.

I have been buying kosher meat for a few months now mainly because they deliver. I can say wiht a reasonable level of certainty that brining is not part of the preparation process. The meat has tasted fresher and I think more raw and less processed than what I'm used to. I'm also not really accustomed to having to remove some feathers that didn't make it off. Regardless, I do like it and I bought a kosher turkey as well. However, based on the meats I've tried, I'd say brining is more in order than ever for this turkey.

At the drugstore, look for the "storage" section and pick out a plastic storage bin big enough to hold your turkey (just make sure it will fit in your fridge, too!) Try to get one with a lid, because then you can stack other things on top of it, saving yourself some crucial shelf space. Be sure to wash it well with soapy water before you use it.
Happy brining!

Do not risk sterilization of an old container. Go with a cooler as you will be adding ice anyways if you are following Alton Browns recipe off of Foodnetwork.com
You could buy a new trash can or go to a restaurant and get or buy a food grade 5gal bucket. One that had pickles or some thing in it.

This is going to sound crazy, but why don't you sterilize a good size trash can & use that? I've done it & it works because there's plenty of room!
First though, you have to simmer your water w/ spices like lots of sea salt, whole peppercorns, a cinnamon stick or 2, sage leaves & bay leaves, a small palmful of hot pepper flakes. But I guess you already knew that because you didn't ask for a brine recipe. Sorry. Anyway, try the trash can. Good luck!

I saw on food network that you could use a clean plastic bucket. Sounds reasonable to me, so I would try that.
