So brining would enhance the flavor then correct?

Well...possibly. Each time I've had it I didn't like it, but the same person made it each time. Very greasy.

That is normally a symptom of the oil not being hot enough. I like 330-350 and some go a bit higher than that.
Perhaps the person liked greasy turkey.
Very likely the problem....
if the oil isn't hot enough, the bird's moisture doesn't crate that "steam layer" (remeber the guy who can walk on coals) around the bird properly, and the oil seeps in. I try not to be any lower than 350...but at the same time try not to run over 375 b/c that begins to break down the oil, and that is not tasty.
The bird will look much darker when you fry him...if he doesn't look much darker than when he's cooked in the oven (believe me there's a big difference) then more than likely the oil was not hot enough.
I agree...greasy turkey is nasty and not tasty.
