I'm just in the process of inputing my recipes. I've brined a couple different ways in the past, though the Whole Foods brining kit is actually a nice option that has worked really well for me. In my experience, it matters less what's in the brine (just salt, or salt and more), just the process of brining overnight alone (and then the cooking temps you use) makes for a moist and delicious turkey. I'll post my recipe and cooking process asap.
