Brine, inject, or both?

I have always injected my fried turkey (and gotten good results) but have good friends who swear by brining. Anybody switched and have an opinion? Anyone do both at the same time?

Was wondering the same. I've always fried with and without injection but never tried brining. Any good brine mix suggestions?

Neither. I just heavily pour Tony's everywhere I can get it.

unless you are getting a fresh turkey dont brine. the frozen are all injected with a salt solution and brining makes them way too salty
do a wet brine and put butter and herbs under the skin

I would brine only or inject only. When I do it, I choose brine

I always inject with tony's creole butter...and frankly, don't see any reason to try anything else...

Done just inject, just brine, and both. Both brine and inject have yielded the best results imo

What's the boards opinion on best time to inject? Right before frying? Night before? Several consecutive days before?

Inject

We have dry brined and smoked our turkeys for as long as I have been alive. Never knew it was called dry brining though. My mom has a secret mix that she rubs everywhere on the turkey about three days before we smoke it. Always moist and flavorful if we don't let the temp get too wild.

1 lb of kosher or pickling salt to 1 lb dark brown sugar. It's also an Alton Brown recipe. Well, link below.
