Turkey brine question

So my turkey is 13.5 lbs

I brined for about 18hrs

My brine was

-2 gallons(32 cups) water

-1.5 cups kosher salt

-1/4 cup worcestershire sauce

-1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 2 bay leaves, ground black pepper, garlic powder

I rinsed the bird thoroughly afterwards and set it to dry in my fridge.

Would this brine/length be enough to season my bird or am I supposed to season the outside too before I roast it?

Also, Iā€™m spatchcocking it and I noticed that about 1/4 of the turkey (1 whole leg) is missing its skin. So I assume this area will be too salty correct? And when I roast the bird should I try putting any excess skin I can find on the skinless area or maybe tinfoil?

Thanks
