Dunno if brining one would hurt the pre-processing or not. If you want to brine one, I'd suggest not getting one that is injected.

Mar 7, 2005 #3 If the label says something like "packed in X% solution" then its like a brine. I think if the number "X" is greater than 7 or something, then it counts as a brine. Think it might be in KC's Turkey thread in Roadmap somewhere
