Question about turkey

[Big Glenn]

I am planning to dry brine then bacon butter a turkey. How do you get the salt to stay on the turkey? Maybe it won’t be an issue, just trying to head off any issues. Any comment on my plan would be appreciated

Just take a handful and rub it on, it'll stick, shake off the excess and let it air dry in the fridge for at least a couple of hours.
12 is good and 24 is better.

Mix some baking powder into the salt at a 1:3 ratio and you'll get a really nice skin.

Thanks. Was just trying to prevent last minute panic. I will definitely try the baking powder
