I am going to be smoking a 14lb turkey tomorrow and presently brining it  in a turkey bag set in a cooler in the garage. I have 2 gallons of the brine in the bag but it doesn't completely cover the bird and was wondering if just turning the bag over once in a while was enough.

Keep ice over the bird for the full time, thats the most important thing.  Turn the bag and turkey over in the cooler a few times while the turkey is in the bag, squeeze all the air out, and you will be fine.
