Most turkeys that you purchase today are already brined in the package. If you read the label, you will see a percentage of water, broth, etc. Butterball turkeys are definitely full of water/butter (and you pay for it in weight).
If you want a tasty Turkey, I usually inject a cajon mixture and mix spices with butter and put plenty UNDER the skin. You can make room under the skin by using a large spoon and sliding it up under the skin under the breast, and even work it under the legs if you wish. But, like I said before, most turkeys are already bined if you find them packaged in sealed plastic.
