Brining is only for people who would rather taste salt then turkey meat.

When prepared correctly, a brined turkey is not salty.

It will be either salty or dry, there is no other way it can be. I’ve been curing meat since 1969. If you put salt on a piece of meat and put it in a plastic container you will see liquid build up around the meat. That’s moisture pulled out of the meat, if you leave the meat for a longer period some of the liquid will be re-absorbed pulling the salt back in with it.
