I am told just fresh turkeys can be brined.
Here is the Pioneer Woman’s recipe for brining-I am using this one. On her blog, she said it has to be a fresh turkey-otherwise will end up salty.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Ah - thank you :-)
I’ve brined frozen (thawed) turkeys many times.
Wait, What? :-)
My 21 lb. turkey is in the freezer. Got it for .78/lb. at Walmart. Was so mad to see Jennie-O on sale for .58/per the next day at another store.
Anyway, I’ve done fresh vs frozen but never brined. I actually like the frozen ones with the injected solution, which is what this one has! But now that I have the brine mix and want to try it this year, you mean I can’t brine it or it will be too salty?
HELP!
