Urgent! Can I add a pork rib roast to my turkey brine solution?

I'd be concerned about the flavors of the pork and turkey mixing. Would recommend a separate process for the pork

There's a food safety issue here. One must assume all poultry is contaminated with salmonella bacteria which could easily cross-contaminate the pork which will not, I assume, be cooked to pasteurization. Don't do it.

Ordinarily one does not have to be too concerned with surface contamination of a roast but the brine could pull the bacteria deep into the meat where a sear would not be able to kill it.
