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.

Is sea salt safe for home canning?

Yes, sea salt can be used in place of regular table salt as there is virtually no difference between most products labelled "sea salt" and other table salt. Some more expensive and regional sea salts may have certain extra minerals in them which give them a different color, such as pink, or black. These will also have slightly different flavor contributed by the minerals. But most sea salt is pretty much the same as white table salt. Remember, all salt came from the sea, at some point, whether it is mined from salt deposits underground, or from salt flats left over from a salty lake, or from the shores of a sea. However, most pickle recipes call for canning or pickling salt rather than regular table salt. Picking salt is made without the use of anti-caking agents or iodine. If you use regular table salt or sea salt, the anti-caking agents may make the brine cloudy, and if the salt is iodized, it may make the brine darker. Non-iodized salts are readily available, and although the brine may be a bit cloudy, the pickles should taste fine.
