Dry Brine Turkey

[BaldEagleOne]

I was thinking of dry brining my turkey this year. I saw one short video of using kosher salt along with baking soda. The baking soda is supposed to tighten the skin. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks

baking soda is supposed to tighten the skin.

Baking powder changes the PH of the skin and helps it crisp up .
I have used it on poultry . Baking powder , not baking soda .
Baking soda can have off flavors .
