Default Salting not Brining Your Turkey

The latest on cooking turkeys is that rubbing sea salt under the skin
will make it more moist and flavorful than brining it. The general rule
is 2 1/2 tablespoons distributed evenly under the skin of or over a
10-12 lb turkey overnight. You do not need to rinse the turkey.

This works for all poultry. It's great for chicken breasts, which you
salt for 6 hours only.
