Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler grilling a turkey for Thanksgiving

I have actually found a couple recipes where you can brine the entire turkey. You either need a 5 gallon pot to sit it in with the brine and put it all in the fridge, or more likely, a cooler filled with some ice and water to keep everything gold, but the turkey in a big plastic bag, fill the bag with the brine, seal tightly, and let the turkey sit in the cooler overnight.

The couple of brine recipes I've seen suggest the turkey could be a bit salty though. Do you have problems with this? I don't tend to use a lot of salt, so I'm wondering what this would do to it. I was thinking about a brine, but am steering away from the idea.

Maybe I'll get a smaller (not for thanksgiving) turkey sometime and try a brine.
