I probably shouldn't even post since SWMBO is spending the week with her daughter's family (read "grandchildren") on the mainland and I'm home alone, so to speak. I'm replacing the traditional turkey, dressing, and gravy this year with ribs, Cowboy beans, coleslaw, and the Saints game.

The Turtle is home alone without SWMBO's supervision? What could possibly go wrong?

I hear wild parties might ensue!

They've already started but unfortunately my definition of "wild party" has changed over the years. Nowadays it qualifies if I have a drink and can stay awake long enough to remember what I think I did back then.

Anyway, with the salt and "curing time" I'd call it a "dry brine." I'm not all that fond of soaking a turkey (I think it negatively affects the texture, especially of the white meat) and, several years ago, went to dry brines similar to the one described and have had consistently great results.

Jus' sayin'...

Yep.  Commonly called a dry brine.
