Will a fresh turkey still be good if I don't have time to brine it? Thanks

John, Sometimes I brine, sometimes I do not. I don't always brine a turkey before cooking it in the oven? that's not any different than doing it in the WSM, cept you are using charcoal for your heat source, and most likely some wood for extra flavor.
It's all good. Good luck with your first cook.

John,you should be okay. Yank it when it gets to 10* below done,and let it rest for 20 minutes. The holdover temps will finish cooking it and keep it from drying out. HTH

John, when short on time you can inject your brine. Make your brine as usual, inject and let sit in the fridge for an hour or so. Done.
