Should I Rinse Turkey After Brining?
No, you should not rinse the turkey after brining. This is because the brine solution has already penetrated the turkey and any excess salt or flavors will not be removed by rinsing with water. In fact, rinsing can cause cross-contamination and spread bacteria from the raw turkey to other surfaces in your kitchen. Instead, simply pat the turkey dry with paper towels and proceed with your recipe.
