I want to make this recipe but have been unable to find a source for coriander root locally or online. Do you know of a source? What can I substitute?

Thanks for the reply. I am located in Jacksonville, FL. I have ordered kaffir lime leaves from foodimport.com. I can buy fresh Thai basil and lemongrass locally as well as dried galangal. I cannot find kaffir limes. Do I assume correctly that I can substitute a regular lime?

Salt Equivalents

Table salt weighs about 10 oz per cup, Morton Kosher salt weighs about 7.7 oz per cup, and Diamond Crystal Kosher salt weighs about 5 oz per cup. Therefore you need to adjust the volume of salt thusly:
Table Salt 1 cup
Morton Kosher Salt 1-1/2 cup
Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt 2 cups

Inject & Brine Turkey

I am a barbecue judge and like to smoke my turkey. I use the same solution to inject the breast & thighs the day before and leave in the same solution for 24 hours, acting as a brine. I use:
1-1/2 cup apple juice
1 cup water
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup table salt
1/4 cup Worcestershire
1/4 cup maple syrup (double if you like it sweeter)

Modify the amount to cover the turkey. This is a good recipe and does not overpower the meat.
