That's curious. At same store, different brands, any where from 3 up to 8 and more in between. The higher the percent, the lower the price went.

Usually they are frozen and if i thaw carefully before brine, some water comes out. My thought has always been that my brine will be more effective with less enhancing, i brine for flavor using the fat man's recipe, which adds tremendous flavor and not just plumping up the muscle.

More flavor can get in if there isn't already muscle cells saturated with enhancing.

Some of the best Turkeys I have made came from Enhanced then Brined birds. I think people overthink birds this time of year.
