Question:

Would it be ok to brine a turkey and then before you bake it to put an herbal butter on it? Vegetables?

Ive been reading all this information on making a TurkeyIts my first year, and Ive had to deal with my grandmother's really dry turkey my whole life hahaSo I learned that you should make a brine, and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 2 days before you use it, and when you do, you should let your turkey sit in it for 24 hours before baking.I was reading other recipes, and watching other chef's birds and they usually mix herbs in their butter before they rub the bird.Would it be too much to do both? I know that when you bake the turkey you should put it either in a bag or a little aluminum foil over itWhich is best? I also know that you shouldn't stuff it, that it can cause uneven cookingIve seen chefs put some vegetables in the cavity to add some more flavor (onions,celery,carrots) Would this be too much flavor too?I know that you should let it sit for 20-30 minutes to let the juices and flavor redistribute.Any other helpful tips?Thank you :D
