  • Smoked Turkey is one of my all time favorite things to smoke in the Pit Boss Vertical Pellet Smoker. Today, I take it to the next level by brining the turkey and showing you how to make my savory smoked sausage stuffing. Oh, yeah... and I also show you how to make a simple Turkey Stock with the Neck and Giblets :)

    News flash, Weekend Warrior BBQ drowns viewer in his own saliva with outstanding recipe! Just did a spatchcock turkey and the temp stalled at about 155 F. I had to ramp the temp on the Traeger from 275 to 325. Then it finished in 30 minutes. Nice job!

      @@WeekendWarriorBBQ absolutely Mike! And I love the way you focus your culinary ideas. I have vast culinary experience and you are on target! Now I’ll tell you it will be nice to put out menus that can also showcase recipes low on sodium. I saw the contents of the Kosmos Q’s brine and lol I can’t do that much sodium. People with high BP like me must maintain a strict level of sodium intake - but don’t get me wrong the turkey looked amazing with K-Q once you cut it - easy to see thru that. But I would love to have a low sodium version - oh yes! Lol!!!! Thanks for the hook info - I got me one on order already ha! Can’t wait to put that bird on my Pit Boss Pro!

    Nice video Mike. The only time my anxiety kicked in was during the mixing in the bowl. I use a huge stainless steel bowl that would hold at least 3 of the one you used. Very easy to swirl and flip and mix. If I was going to cut off the tail and neck skin it would go into the stock pot. I'll make that sausage stuffing this year. Well done!

    I spatchcock my Turkey's and chickens brown the meat and make the stock from the removed back bone. some veggies and and 30 minutes in a pressure cooker.
    Pressure cooking it extracts more flavor from the meat bones and veggies.
    It also saves energy since pressure cooking is much faster.
