I was plannng to brine our turkey overnight, even though we will be roasting it in the traditional way.
However, I noticed that our Honeysuckle White turkey has "Contains 8% of a solution" on the label, and has salt listed in the ingredients. Brining instructions on the interweb generally read:
"The turkey should ... not be a self-basting or Kosher turkey. Self-basting and Kosher turkeys have a salty stock added that will make your brined turkey too salty. Make sure to check the ingredients on the turkey before you decide to brine. "
or
"Do NOT brine a turkey that has been "basted" "enhanced" or "marinated."
Should I brine it??
