Has anyone ever made the Honey Brine for turkey?

I just did and something must be wrong. I doubled the recipe and you use 3 cups of k salt to 2 cups of honey. I don't have a honey brine I have a salt brine that smells like honey.

This can't be right. Has anyone used this before?

Alan, the recipe is accurate as originally developed by Rick Shoenberger. I think you caught your own mistake...per your Morton conversion page, you should have used 2.5 cups of Morton's kosher salt to 2 gallons of water and 2 cups of honey.
 
Thanks Chris, do you want to update the suggestion on the recipe page then?

Pickling salt is a fine-grained salt usually sold in 3- or 4-pound boxes. It does not contain the potassium iodide or anti-caking agent calcium silicate found in table salt. For the purposes of this recipe, you can substitute 1 cup of non-iodized table salt or 1-1/2 cups of Morton Kosher Salt or 2 cups of Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt.
