Just be careful here especially with turkey. Read the package a lot of store bought turkeys are already brined. Could run into double salting.

They aren't brined they are injected with a saline solution or even chicken broth up to 10% weight as well. I try to avoid these as much as possible.

That said a properly brined piece of poultry or pork will not be salty when cooked provided you rinse very well several times in cool water and pat dry. Then you season the meat as you would any other.
