If you use it as a liner for your aluminum pot, and the bag should hold up.

When wet brining in a plastic bag I always place it in a contain just incase of leaks.

I have used the oven bags.  As long as you are careful, they will hold.  I typically double bag them just in case.

I'll probably die of plastic poisoning, but if it's too big to fit in my biggest stockpot, I use one of those white plastic trash bags that come in a big roll. In a larger container for support as previously mentioned.

Well if the brine time isn't too long, I have used a plastic lined cooler, cleaned real well, and make up the brine using ice for part of the water.  The one issue is, the brine strength will change over time as the ice melts.
I like animals, they taste good!

Another good idea!

The deal is my sister-in-law always does the turkey and she had a little surgery a couple of days ago so I stepped up and said I would do it in the SRG. I've never brined a whole bird so I did a 7.55 lb chicken last weekend as a trial run. It was good so now I just have to scale everything up by about two. I think I have the plan and finding something to brine the turkey in saw about the last thing I needed. Thanks everybody!

If your pot isn't big enough you could always get a 5 gallon bucket from Lowes or Home Depot. I think they only run about $2.50 and line that with the oven bag.
