Can you wet brine then dry brine a turkey?
Possibly use a salt-less dry brine.

Hi Greener!
702551 is totally right! A salt-less brine is a bit of an oxymoron. But it is not just possible, but encouraged to use a rub or herb/spice mixture on your turkey post brining. Once the turkey has been removed from the brine and dried completely you could use any number of premade spice mixes or you could use your own!
Hope this helps!

By definition a brine has salt. So you can't have a salt-less dry brine.
A more accurate term would be a dry rub. Yes, this is possible. I believe some barbecue geeks do this, particularly with pork. You would want to dry the meat very well after removing it from a wet brine so the dry rub adheres to the surface.
