Brining a turkey with 8% solution

[sladewilson]

I plan on smoking a 12lb turkey tomorrow. I put it in brine now at 4:30pm. I’m using Meat Church Bird Baptism brine. Has anyone had any experience with brining a pre brined turkey? The package said it has a 8% solution. I don’t want it to come out too salty. Should I just brine it for a few hours?

I have found turkeys need at least a whole day in the brine preferably two to get a good flavor.

Yes . I do a lot of poultry . I always brine " pre-brined " over night . Plus I inject .
It will hold around 10% of the weight . Whatever you soak it in , will mix with what's already in it , and maintain around that 10 % addition , and some of that leaks out .

The package said it has a 8% solution.

Half of that is probably in the bag .
Like said above , you're fine .
