I understand, and maybe incorrectly so, that you can't do gravy if you use that method. Did you ever do gravy when you were doing a brine?
Yes, I do gravy. Just don’t add any salt at all to the drippings and go by taste to season.
I also stuff the bird instead of using vegetables. Never had a problem with too salty tasting. I make up extra stuffing and bake alone in the oven.
