re: Turkey Brine?

Again, what you do with your turkey is your own affair. I'm talking about rinsing off any excess processing debris before rubbing a bird that's going to spend its next 80 hours sitting in a refrigerator. Will heat from the cooking process kill any bacteria left on the bird? Absolutely. Can rubbing slivers of organ matter into your bird prior to its sitting stagnant for 3 days alter the taste if the bird? Possibly. I prefer to rinse it. I sincerely hope you can grow to accept it.
