I've noticed that some brine recipes state that the brine solution should be cooked, prior to brining the turkey.  Is this true for the slaughterhouse recipe, or can i just throw the ingredients together and brine immediately?

Actually you are heating it up so items have a chance to blend/dissolve.

The Kosher salt and brown sugar will dissolve better if it is heated.
