- Combine all brine ingredients, except ice water, in a stockpot, and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve solids, then remove from heat, cold to room temperature, and chill till thoroughly chilled.
- Early on the day of cooking, (or possibly late the night before) combine the brine and ice water in a clean 5-gallon bucket. Place thawed turkey breast-side down in brine, cover, and chill or possibly set in cold area (like a basement) for 6 hrs. Turn turkey over once, half way through brining.
- A few min before roasting, heat oven to 500 degrees. Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and c. of water in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 min.
- Remove bird from brine and rinse inside and out with cool water. Throw away brine.
- Place bird on roasting rack inside wide, low pan and pat dry with paper towels. Add in steeped aromatics to cavity along with rosemary and sage. Tuck back wings and coat whole bird liberally with canola (or possibly other neutral) oil.
- Roast on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees for 30 min. Remove from oven and cover breast with double layer of aluminum foil, insert probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and return to oven, reducing temperature to 350 degrees. Set thermometer alarm (if available) to 161 degrees. A 14 to 16 lb. bird should require a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hrs of roasting.
- Let turkey rest, loosely covered for 15 min before carving.
