Prepare the turkey by removing the giblets and patting it dry.

In a bowl, combine kosher salt, sugar, pink peppercorn, and black peppercorn with orange zest and lemon zest.

Mix the ingredients together until you see blackened red speckles and orange and yellow tints.

Rub the dry brine mixture generously all over the turkey, ensuring it's well coated.

Place the turkey in the refrigerator uncovered to allow air to hit it and dehydrate the skin.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook the turkey for 50 minutes per pound.
