If I am wet brining the turkey, should I adjust the salt levels at all or just proceed with the recipe?

You'll definitely want to adjust the salt levels for a wet brine vs. a dry brine. For a wet brine, you'll want to use a ratio of 1 gallon of water to 10 ounces of kosher salt. Scale up as needed so you can completely submerge the turkey in this solution, then refrigerate for 24 hours. (If you’re in a hurry, you can increase the saltiness and brine for less time.)
For this recipe in particular, I'd skip the dry-brining portion of step 1, so you can wet bring instead, but proceed from step 2 onward as written.
