The Food Lab: Turkey Brining Basics

Oh, dear, I'm new to this site, and I have a question that may bring sniffs of disdain from you all, but here goes: I really don't like turkey and try to have as little to do with it as possible. Which means, in the past I've always used the Reynolds Oven Bags to cook the thing, and they've turned out passably well, I guess. (I'm not a good judge.) But because I'm stuck with this major bird--fresh-killed from a local farm, I might add--I would like to try and make it a bit more tasty; hence my interest in the brining, which I do think would help.
My question is, if I brine, can I still use the Oven Bag to cook the turkey in, or will that just give me steamed cardboard?
Thanks for any advice--and Happy Thanksgiving
