Hello
I am hoping that someone can help me out with the calculation to determine how much Cure #1 to add to the apple-brined turkey recipe from this site.

I want to add the cure for the added food safety factor. I will be brining a 12 pound turkey.

Thanks in advance for your help/

I think the recommendation is 1 teaspoon per 5 pounds of meat, regardless of the variety. So you're looking at about 2 1/2 tsp. for a 12 pound bird.
 
Thanks David. I know that if I am making sausage and incorporating the cure into the commutated meat that the quantity you have suggested is correct. I am just not sure of the cure amount when I am brining.
