No, you don't have to cook a turkey, or any meat, right after
brining. You'd want to remove the turkey from the salt solution,
and pat the skin dry, and then put it in a container or some sort
of packaging. (You don't want to leave it indefinitely in the
brining solution.) You can also freeze turkey, pork chops, chicken
parts, etc. after brining and not cook them for weeks or
months.
