Halving a turkey brine. Need some advice.

[worktogthr]

I am a novice when it comes to brining. I have only done it twice with the same recipe and that recipe was for a 14-18 pound turkey. I have a 7lb bone in turkey breast thawing and I was wondering do I half that brine recipe in order to brine the turkey breast and avoid it being too salty, mushy texture, etc.? Thanks in advance for the help!

If it's a brine that doesn't contain cure (like cure #1 or Morton TQ) then you can make whatever size batch you need. You only need enough to cover the bird. If it dose contain a curing agent then you need to keep the ratios the same.
