I've never done it myself, but thinking of trying it this year if i can't find a fried turkey. Whole Foods and Williams-Sonoma sell brine bags and seasoning mix to do it.
Fresh or Frozen?

cooksillustrated.com has excellent roast turkey recipe, including brining. It's very easy to do - just let it soak in water with a LOT of salt in it, in a big pot in the fridge, I forget how long, etc. so easy though.
or just google turkey brining and see what you come up with. I can easily find my recipe and send it to you if you need it, just holler.
Thanks Tootsie! I'll Google it...I'm sure that if I can get the brine for boiling peanuts right, I can do this...
I'm thinkin' I might try it, Toots. Send it or post it please.
will do my little DD. anything for you.

I haven't tried this one by Emeril, but would like to - the brining water includes salt and brown sugar, organge, lemon and herbs... sounds so good.

no ice?
no, the turkey will stay cool enough in the cold water, inside the cooler, without ice. but, you can certainly add some ice or ice packs. why not?
