Maybe I've done something wrong in the past but I don't recommend brining a turkey that's going to be deep fried at all. I tried it one year and was not nearly as happy with the results. We either use Cajun injector marinade or make an injection solutions from scratch. I do find brining very beneficial when roasting or smoking a turkey though. Just my 2 cents.


Makes sense.

Becareful with brining, too long of brine makes the turkey taste like processed meat. Certainly juicy, but not the kind texture I like and can get too salty.
