“Meggan, in direction number 4 where it says to place the turkey on it’s back and rub the remaining melted butter all over, do you mean the remaining softened butter. We are rubbing it all over the outside of the breast and legs, is that correct? It sounds wond” — a cook
“Hi Erica, thank you for your question! No, the salt does not need to be rinsed off after the turkey is brined. Please write with any more questions! I hope your turkey comes out amazing! – Meggan” — a cook
