When ready to cook turkey, pull out of brine, rinse off in sink with water, pat dry with paper towels, rub all over with olive oil and then sprinkle all over with garlic salt. Bacon can be fried and added to the gravy you make. Put turkey in oven and bake per directions on turkey package. You want bird to be 160 degrees in the breast for it to be done. Put a meat probe in the breast and set the temp to 160 so you don't overcook the turkey. Let bird rest 30 minutes before carving it.
