Default Packaged Turkey

I intended on brining a turkey, but I noticed what was brought home is in a
package that reads, All Natural may contain up to 6% of some solution. Does
this essentailly mean this bird is already brined? If so can I do anything
withit to enhance the flavor without over salting it?

If you brine with a lower than usual salt concentration, 1 oz salt to 1
quart H20, and add assertive seasonings it will be well worth it. The
"assertive seasonings" is important. I usually buy "water added" turkeys and
brine following. They are more succulent and not as dry as other turkeys.
Also, they tend to be the cheapest.
