Some people (like me) like the taste of roasted meat and find that
brining/injecting adds something that they don't like. We always roast
the turkey & chicken upside down and then flip it towards the end and
the meat is moist and tastes like meat.

My buddy is an avid deep fried turkey person. He probably has every
gadget and has tried every method and does it a lot. A few years back he
was in a hurry and cooked one without doing anything. The result was
that everyone said "wow, this is really good" and thats how he has been
making then ever since.
