  • In this video, I am going to show you how to prepare the Perfect Turkey on a Traeger Grill or any pellet smoker. You can also do this in the oven as well.
    The Turkey in this recipe was 13 lbs.
    Here are links to some of the items I used:
    Meater+ Temp Probe:
    amzn.to/3qwSGgU
    Meat Injector:
    amzn.to/3mYzxlm
    Brine Bag:
    amzn.to/2JibyPQ
    Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub:
    amzn.to/38VZtdA
    Knotty Wood Almond Pellets:
    amzn.to/38THuo4
    0:00 Intro
    0:33 The Breakdown
    1:15 The Brine
    4:01 24 Hour Chill
    5:30 Inject / Rub
    8:10 Smoke / Cook
    11:03 Devour

    note: there are affiliate links above, so if you purchase something through any of them I will receive a small commission, but you will not pay more for the product(s)*
    It just helps me out!
    Here is the Breakdown and 4 Simple Steps:
    1. 12 Hour Brine
    2. 24 Chill / Dry
    3. Inject / Rub
    4. Smoke / Cook
    For the brine, here are the ingredients I used, and you can easily just go with a simple water/salt combo to keep it simple:
    1 QT Water
    1 cup Brown Sugar
    1 cup Kosher Salt
    1 1/2 cup Apple Cider or Apple Juice
    a few sprigs Rosemary + Thyme
    a few Bay Leaves
    1 whole head garlic, peeled + smashed
    1 orange, sliced
    1 lemon, sliced
    1 tbsp Peppercorn
    1 tsp cloves
    Once all the above ingredients come to a boil, add an additional 3 QTs water, and 2-3 cups ice. You need the brine to be at or below room temperature before adding the turkey. Store in the fridge, or a cooler with a brine bag, and plenty of ice for 12 hours.
    For the Injection, I used 8 oz melted, unsalted butter, an equal portion of Maple Syrup, and 2-3 tbsp Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub.
    I smoked / cooked this bird at 350°f/ 176°c until the Internal Temp (IT) reached 160°f/71°c in the breast. The carryover heat will bring your bird to finishing IT to 165°f/74°c after a 30 minute rest.

    We made this smoked turkey on our Traeger grill yesterday. It came out so amazing! However, my husband adjusted the temp and started low and slow at 200 for an hour to get a good smoke and raised it to 375. It took 4 hours for a 14 lb turkey but it crisped up beautifully and had incredible flavor. I think the brine, the flavor injection, and the rub are so important to the result. We are not big turkey fans and this came out so delicious that we will be making this again and again. Thank you so much!!

    For people who are cooking this for a lot of people and are nervous they may mess it up, I did a practice run on a whole chicken a few weeks before just to be more comfortable.

This was very special for my family since this was my 1st year hosting my parents, and the 1st time I cooked everything on my own. Unbelievably DELICIOUS. Though I did not have the official rub and made my own, I believe the technique is most important to the result.

"best turkey I've ever had" etc, etc. I spatchcocked it but everything else was pretty consistent with your recipe.

    Best smoked turkey I have ever made. A family friend that doesn’t like turkey but was famished and had some. He said , “ I don’t even like turkey but this is awesome”. Everyone loved it. No left overs to worry about or even enjoy. It was devoured.

Created my own rub, because my wife is allergic to peppers. Still AMAZING, warm, juicy, and the 4 of us ate it all. I took pics. Wish I could pist them.

    Hey Thanks so much! I need that injection tool now. The bird looks so delicious. I was gonna start tomorrow night with the brining process but it’s great to do both wet and dry brine. Other videos just do one method. It’s Tuesday night and I’m making the brine right now! :) Thanks again! :)

    This is very first time smoking a turkey, and I have to tell you I am so ecstatic I opened your video. My turkey was close to 18 lbs. so it took a little longer and the top of the bird just cleared my junior Traeger. I'll go smaller next time, but it was absolutely delicious, moist, and the best smoked turkey ever. Your recipe is a keeper! Thank you,
