Can you use canning pickling salt to brine turkey?
Yes - you can use pickling salt to brine turkey. The main difference between pickling salt and other salts are grain size and iodine. Table salt has iodine, pickling salt does not. The iodine is only added to table salt to add that nutrient to our diet; it has no effect on brining turkey - it doesn't hurt but it doesn't help. Pickling salt is also very fine-grained, to speed up dissolving in water to create a brine, so it is useful for solutions needing salt. Typically it is even finer grained than table salt and much finer than rock salt or kosher salt. When you think about it, canning salt really is designed for brining processes so not only CAN you use it to brine turkey - it would probably be the PREFERRED type of salt to use to brine turkey.

Does a turkey need to be defrosted before a brine?
Actually, if you are careful to maintain a temperature below 42 degrees, you can brine a frozen turkey and let it defrost as it brines. The catch is to not allow the brine to warm up or bacteria can form, despite all the salt. I sanitize a cooler, put in the turkey and the cold brine to cover it, then add both ice cubes and frozen cooler packs in ziplocks (the food-safe kind you can freeze and re-freeze to keep things cold in your cooler). The turkey will defrost quickly - as in 24 hours - this way. I like the turkey to sit out of brine in the fridge overnight before roasting so that the skin dries out and crisps better when roasting.
Can you brine a store bought smoked turkey?
There's a couple of factors in this answer. Was the turkey ever frozen? if so, it should be cooked within two to three days of thawing, regardless. If the turkey is "fresh" (not frozen) you can get away with an extra day. If in doubt, add more salt, and be sure to change the water daily. And did I say more salt? Add more. Salt acts as a preservative, and it's pretty much impossible to over-salt a turkey.
