I also use a brine when I don't get Butterball Turkey.
Kosher meat is salted and then rinsed as part of the koshering process. So it is essentially "brined". Here I was having the trendy "brined" stuff and never knew it!
I normally try to buy the cheapest frozen turkey available, like Kroger brand. I found this brine does a very good job, and after Thanksgiving is often on clearance:
