Apple brined turkey with pre-injected turkey

[Daum]

I want to do https://tvwbb.com/threads/apple-brined-whole-turkey.29924/ for a turkey this weekend, however the store only had injected turkeys, which we got one with "up to 6% of broth". Could I still do the brine recipe but maybe reduce the salt in the brine? What are your thoughts! If you think I should skip that all together, any recommendations on a different recipe to follow?


Thanks,
Daum

Why the heck not, go for it! I’d follow the recipe “to the letter”. The brine recipe calls for a great balance of flavors that you’ll not be in danger of over-salting the bird.
