How long after brining Can i cook my turkey

[merlin]

ok guys its november and im sure the turkey questions are flying all over this site.  Im gonna brine my turkey this year and wanted to know how long i could wait in between finishing the brine process and cooking.  I wanna brine on tuesday evening take it out the next morning leave it in the fridge (out of the brine) on a plate or covered container (IDK if it makes a difference)  til later that night. Inject and rub  it  that night and cook it thursday morning.  im worried i will loose flavor and moisture if i wait a day after brining or will it be ok?

Thanks

Greg

I think over night to dry out the skin is fine or up to 24 hours.

After an overnite brine, I would rinse, then pat dry. Rub on and under the skin and inside. Let rest a few hours to overnite, then smoke.

Sounds like a plan to me, however I'd leave the injection thingy out.. but that's just my choice. I don't like streaks in my Meat when I cut it open Looks so pretty with that nice smooth colored slice on the plate...just sayin...

Have fun and...
