Have any of you cooks ever soaked your Thanksgiving turkey in a brine the day before cooking?

Why would one do that?
It is not a pickle!
I have some instructions fro brining a turkey, but I don't have them right at hand. It didn't look too difficult, and involves using large roasting bags rather than buckets (which is what was recommended in previous instructions I'd seen). I'll post later if you still don't have any information from anyone by the time I can find the instructions. Didn't look to hard, and I was considering trying it this year, but I'm not having Thanksgiving at my house this year.
Is your turkey a wild one?
If so, it would prolly benefit from a nice soaking.
Otherwise, no.
