Brining keeps the the juices in and the turkey moist while adding flavor to the meat.
Brining is usually done in salty water, but in addition you can add some sugar (to counterbalance) and seasonings and even citrus juice. This results in a moist and flavorful turkey (or chicken).

Some people seem to think that you should 'wash' a turkey before cooking it. That's not a good idea. All you'll do is spread the germs which lurk on the bird's skin. Cooking properly kills these anyway.

It makes the turkey moist and the skin crispy! It's really easy to do and well worth it. At least for a holiday meal.
