Smoked Turkey Recipe
Once you try a smoked turkey, you'll never cook turkey any other way.
You want to buy a 10-12lb Turkeys because this size turkey cooks evenly throughout the breast and thighs on the smoker. It takes several days to thaw a 12lb turkey, so you'll need to plan in advance.
Once you have the turkey thawed, it's time for the brine. I brine my turkeys for 24 hours.
Turkey Brine Recipe:
- 2 gallons of tap water
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Molasses
- 1 cup Honey
- 1 ½ cup Salt
- ¼ cup The BBQ Rub www.killerhogs.com/shop.html
- 3-4 Bay Leaves
- Fresh Thyme Bundle
- 1 TBS Whole Peppercorns
In a large stock pot bring 1 gallon of water to a boil and add the brown sugar, molasses, honey, bbq rub, and bay leaves. Once the ingredients have dissolved turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool. I make this the night before and refrigerate until time to brine.
Place the turkey inside a bag and pour in the brine. Add the thyme bundle and peppercorns. Top the turkey off with an additional gallon of water and the entire bird should be covered. Close the bag and lay a bag of ice on top. Let the turkey soak for 24 hours replacing the ice as needed.
The next day remove the turkey from the brine and rinse under cool water. Allow it to drain and pat off any excess water with paper towels. Cut a couple apples in half and stuff in the cavity. I also add onion and celery. This will add mass to the turkey helping it cook even and gives it some additional flavor.
Smoked Turkey Seasoning:
- 1 cup Kosher Salt
- 1 cup Granulated Garlic
- 1 TBS Poultry Seasoning
First spray the outside of the turkey with cooking spray. Apply the seasoning mix to the outside making sure to cover everything; then apply a light layer of The BBQ Rub. www.killerhogs.com/shop.html
The next step is to inject the turkey. You can use a store bought injection like Tony's Creole Butter, but I created my own version.
Smoked Turkey Butter Injection
- 1 stick real butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 TBS Hot Sauce
- 1 tea Granulated Garlic
- 1 tea Cajun Seasoning (I used Louisanna brand)
Melt the butter in a sauce pan and add the chicken broth, hot sauce, garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Whisk the ingredients together and remove from heat once incorporated. It doesn't need to come to a boil.
Let the injection cool and shoot it into the turkey. Hit the breast in 3-4 locations on each side and do the same for the legs and thighs. Before placing the turkey on the smoker, use butcher twine to secure the legs and wings.
Now the turkey is finally ready for the cooker. I smoke turkeys at temps between 275-300 degrees. Higher temps make for a better bird. The outer skin turns a beautiful mahogany color and is almost crispy. For smoke, I use pecan or a fruit wood like cherry. You can over-smoke turkey, so go easy on the wood. Place the turkey on the smoker and set a timer for 1 ½ hours. As long as you maintain temps, there's not much to do, just let it cook.
When the timer goes off, rotate the turkey on the rack to ensure it is cooking evenly on all sides. I never flip the turkey. It stays on the back, breast up, the entire cook. It takes about 3 ½ hours to smoke a 10-12lb turkey but checking the internal temps is key. It has to hit at least 165 in the breast and 175 in the thigh. When you stick the turkey, juices should run out clear. There should be no trace of blood or pink colored liquid. I start checking the internal about the 2 ½ hour mark just to see where it is. At this point if the outside is starting to get dark, I'll lay a piece of aluminum foil over it. The foil acts as a tent and will prevent the skin from browning any further.
Once I see a temp of 165 in the thickest part of the breast and the juices are running clear out of the thigh (175 internal), the turkey is done....Almost....you want to let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. If you go at it too soon with the knife, all of the juices will run out onto your cutting board and you'll have dry turkey. Be patient and let things cool off for a few minutes.
Once you try Smoked Turkey you won't be able to stomach oven cooked bird.

4 years ago was when I discovered this recipe, my girlfriends kids went to their fathers after our Thanksgiving. They told their father that my Turkey was way better than his. The enraged look that their father gives me every year since is priceless. So here I am, for the 4th time to get that glory again.
hahahaha! i love this
Hahaha!!
Way to cause problems in the family! 🤣 💔
I love it when egos get in the way and tampons need to be changed!
I’d wear that crown for life if I were you.. 🤣💪🙌🙌
I started this recipe last year on my Traeger, it was a smashing success and this year I was asked to smoke two of em the family.. 💪💪
Nice!!
Lol.. that’s what life is about..!
Yeah your real proud wishing those kids were yours
I switched last year to this method and had 30 people say it was the best turkey they ever had. Rewatching today to start prepping. Thanks sir
I had the same reaction as well. I also am here for a refresher. Dude knows his stuff!!
I was thinking of ordering a smoker, do you guys have recommendations?
I've been doing this recipe for 3 years and everyone loves it. Taste is great. Absolutely moist and tender.
Just saw this today! I need to try this!! But a small problem, I already have a 22 lb turkey 😐, do you guys think it’s too big for this method?
@@henryalcocer5127 No. It'll take longer to cook. I generally use a 16lb or so. Haven't had any problems. I injected it a bit more than he did because of the size. It takes mine about an extra 2 hours, do keep that in mind. You won't regret any of Malcolm's recipes. I've done numerous ones that he has and they all come out great. Good luck to you...
Love it. Made it three years in a row. Family eats the whole 12 pounds every year. Safe to say, it's even better than grandma's cooking.
I found this recipe three years ago and I’ve used it every single year. I watch this video the Tuesday before, it’s like a tradition. The turkey always is the star of the show and it’s all thanks to this dude. Gotta put the ice on it and put it to bed
I do the same thing
I come back every year to do this recipe. I love it!!!! My family does as well.
damn why yall only eat turkey once a yr we ate one 2 months ago
I did this for Thanksgiving. My first turkey. Everyone said it was the best they’ve ever ate. I’m about to start one this morning for Christmas!
People say anything to be polite.
Checking in again just to say this will ALWAYS be my go-to for my Smoked Turkey’s! I wish you and your families well this day and upcoming holiday season!
Should you use salted or unsalted butter? And can you use a turkey already in a salt solution? Thanks so much
I watch your video every year before Thanksgiving. This recipe has become a big hit and a family tradition. Thank you, Malcolm!
This is my 5th year making my turkey with this recipe. Everyone always compliments the way it comes out. He’s the king of BBQ
Do you Add the salt into the brine?
@@jessem2383 yes, I put 1 1/2 of salt for a 10-12 pound bird
This is the guy to turn to when smoking anything. You don't have to take every step he does because the basics are all there. Time, temp, brine, rub - he knows it all
+Gert B Frobe appreciate it

hey ! dig you vids...looks awesome...I have a question. I'm smoking my first turkey this year and wondered if it should be put in a foil pan in the smoker? I noticed you do not use a pan, pros/cons/suggestions? Thanks!
I have a small weber smokey moutain, i used a water pan which i refilled twice with 32oz. of warm water. 12.7lb turkey came out delicious after 3.5 hrs ~250 degrees.
Gert B Frobe Malcolm is the man
This is my "go to" recipe every Thanksgiving. Please never delete this video!
Over the years, im responsible for about 50 of these veiws.
I have around 40. Its game time tomorrow
Ditto
Good luck today boys. Just got the grill heating up.
Love watching these older videos. You’ve come a long way in your video production, Malcolm and Rachelle. Watched all these turkey videos as a refresher. Thank you so much, you’re a blessing. Have a great thanksgiving!
Mr. Reed I salute you. I tried your process and man was it the best thing made for Thanksgiving. Thank you sir!
Hello Malcolm, first of all I want to thank you for all these videos that you put out for us guys that are learning to be smokers as yourself I especially love the way you demonstrate everything that you say. Your instructions are very clear and precise, and your video angles are always good for us to see exactly what you're saying. I've learned so much from you in the last year that I feel I owe you something. All I have to give at this time is my kind words and prayer for you and your family. Keep up the good work my friend and thank you very much for all you do for us.
Made this the past weekend, everyone there said it was the best Turkey they’ve ever had and I agree, it was the best Turkey I’ve ever had. About to show the brother in law what’s up for thanksgiving next year! Thanks man! Love your videos
I did my first smoked turkey yesterday 7-27-17 and it was the best turkey I had ever had. My family loved it and told me that whatever I did with this turkey to do it from now on. Even my 3 year old said it was delicious. I followed the recipe to the tee with the exception of the wood. Unfortunately here in the mid west is hard to find oak so I did it with hickory. Thanks so much for your wonderful recipe, from now on you are my go to person for BBQ!
Well, I'm back again this year for a refresher course. This is the best smoked turkey we've ever tried. Thank you Malcolm!
Old but gold video. Second year following this recipe! And it won’t be my last! Thank you Malcom! Keep doing what you’re doing!👊🏽
Just made this recipe today. This was the best turkey I have ever had. I’ve tinkered with lots of different recipes and methods, but yours was the best. Thanks Malcolm!
It's about that time of year when I refresh my memory on this amazing recipe. Best ever.
Smoked a trial turkey yesterday for thanksgiving using his exact recipe. It turned out amazing. Extremely tender and juicy. Never had one as juicy. I highly recommend using this recipe.
Man I did too and it was killer! It took me a hell of a lot longer than 4 hours to get mine up to temp though, at 300 degrees. I think I went nearly 6 hours on a 12 Lb bird and it still wasnt 100 percent done. Little salmonella never hurt anybody. Xsept grandpa. RIP
@@danahammac5032 lmao man I'm laughing, hope this is a joke!
Did you guys inject it? I noticed he didn’t inject it in this video?
Followed this recipe and it came out amazing. I have a Pit Boss Austin XL. I set it to 300 degrees and our 15lb turkey cooked for 3 hours. When it reached 167 degrees I pulled it and let it rest. Everyone loved it! Thanks Malcom! First time doing this. Definitely not my last! Happy Thanksgiving!
Ahem.
Gentlemen. I see that we are all back. Some are back after years, some are here for their first time smoking a Turkey. I wish you all luck.
good seeing you again brother, this has been a long time coming to this video once more
This video is sort of like the annual holiday reboot to sharpen our skills before the big family gathering. Ain’t nobody wanna end up with a Griswold turkey! 🤣
Hi Malcom. I followed this recipe this Thanksgiving, and man I tell you, the turkey came out perfect. I used your injector that I bought and made up a creole butter injection, used your seasonings, injected it and smoked it on my Weber Smokey Mountain and it turned out awesome. It was so tender and moist and full of flavor. It was a big hit this year at the table. Thanks so much!
I have also followed this 100% twice and now have been told I WILL be doing it again for Thanksgiving this year. Anyone just thinking about trying this.... stop thinking and go for it!!!!!!
Malcom has never let me down so when I was ready to smoke my first turkey I came here. Everyone loved it - HowToBBQRight comes through again. Thanks for all the great recipes
Done this 2 yrs now.. and back for a refresh for year 3.. An absolute hit with the family! The best way to go right here!!!
I’ve been using this recipe for 4 years. It’s the best that I’ve found. Juicy, crispy skin and full of flavor throughout the whole bird.
Thanks for sharing & Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm following this exact recipe for my first smoked turkey.
Same
Like he said, you will never go back to cooking a turkey any other way. Year after year these brined and smoked turkeys steal the show.
it changed my entire opinion on turkeys.
@Hector Cavazos Jr it was a in hit! I'll be talking about it on Sunday podcast!
2020 and I’m still using your old videos for advice! Keep up the good work, Man. You’re still awesome.
Thanks! 3 years and my family is still wanting this done again! Best turkey ever!!!
I don’t know why but I trust him
He's awesome and it's hard not to trust us big guys when it comes to food 🤣
I trust him so much I want to his website and brought all his Rubs. ✅
Never trust a skinny cook.
Well, you try one of his recipes and you instantly trust him, because the result is incredible. For me it was the smoked baby back ribs. I had a new Traeger, and Malcom guided me through to BBQ nirvana. Very, very easy to trust a guy like that.
You should, he has one of the best bbq channel on CZcams. Instructions are clear, and if you follow them your food will always turn out right.
Malcom you are the man! Can’t wait to try this in a few days for thanksgiving. You are my go to for any smoker recipe. Ever since I bought a smoker I’ve used all your recipes for every meat I’ve cooked and they have all been fantastic. Your products on your website are top notch too, only place I get my stuff from. I appreciate everything you do.
Did you do this Turkey? It’s my third year running and people are raving
@@Jordan-gl1jz I sure did. Same here. Best turkey I have had and my father in law says I now have to make one every year for TG. Lol. Glad to hear it’s going great for you too.
Malcolm - Thank you so much for all you do! I made this yesterday for my family, and immediately i heard omg's, and "this is the best turkey I've ever had." I have learned so much from you and youve helped me prepare outstanding food for my family. I hope you know how appreciated you are. A true gift to all of us! Happy Holidays!
I did this, he is not lying, the crowd was in awe, completely surpassing previous turkeys in every way, sit back and receive the praise at dinner time.
Made this turkey today for Church small group this evening. Everyone loved it! Some said it was the best Turkey they have ever had. Thx for the recipe!
Followed directions step by step, first time every smoking a Turkey. Got compliments from people cooking turkeys their whole lives, about how this was by far the best turkey they ever had! Thank you!!!
I learned this over a year ago from your video and I haven’t strayed away from your receptive much. I’ve cooked around 30 turkeys so far and it’s always killer. Thank you. I’m cooking one now. Happy thanksgiving 2019
Best turkey anyone ever had! Thank you for the instruction. No bs, just straight up information. Thanks again
Malcolm time to update this recipe
You have the best grilling smoking channel on YT
Last thanksgiving I followed your recipe. The best Turkey ever! this year I'm cooking the same way!😁 thanks for the video
I did this and I was so surprised how juicy and tender soft it was! My whole family wanted a Turkey for Christmas and we don’t really care for Turkey because it’s always been dry no matter the method. My husband also does the same method for his Turkey legs. Thank you so much!!! You just don’t know how much happiness you brought to us . God bless you!
Got a smoker for Christmas and just did this recipe for new years and no turkey left overs. Great!
Malcom is the absolute best when it comes to smoking! I especially suggest his smoked spare ribs on you tube. They are the absolute bomb!!
Lance Duvalian I tried that recipe and it was great. About tired of people asking me to make it that's a long process lol
I will give it a go. Thank you!
I smoked a turkey this weekend following your recipe exactly and I was like a rockstar! Everyone gave me so many compliments on how it turned out. Thanks for posting this recipe!
Aaron Aguilar Glad to hear it!
Proud of your entrepreneurial spirit and you've kept true to your passion for cooking and humility shines through. Amazing I'm looking at a video from eight years ago and still follow you today as I prepare to smoke my first turkey. You are the only one I follow when it comes to barbecue cooking lol keep doing great things.
Used this recipe and followed the instructions for the brine and it was hands down the best Thanksgiving Turkey we have ever had. The entire family loved it. The white meat was so moist! Thank you for this video.
I finally made this recipe for a big party we had and it was by far the best turkey I've ever had in my life. There was nothing left of this bird when we were done with it! I even bought some stuff from Malcolm's website just to support him just because this recipe cemented my trust in him
Where can I get the pump injector
you’re the man Malcom, i’ll be doing this thanksgiving day
Hey Malcolm!!
I have used this recipe for the past 6 years for my family get together at Thanksgiving and it has always been awesome!
I used to have a Weber Summit, which I had used successfully for every thanksgiving. However it died after 13 years of use. I recently purchased a Recteq 700 and I am really looking forward to using this recipe in my new pellet grill.
Thanks so much for all you do. Hope to meet you some day and give proper Thanks! Love your CZcams Channel!!
My husband and I just watched this video. Your turkey looks delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. We can't wait to try it out!
I used your recipe this Thanksgiving. It was a huge hit. My wife kept sneaking pieces off the bird. It was so tender and juicy. I used my Weber Gold. My mother-in-law thought I was crazy to cook a turkey on the grill. But now she wants me to cook the turkey for every holiday and I mean every holiday. Great recipe Malcom. The turkey went so fast I didn't get a chance to take any pictures but I will this Christmas. It has already been told to me that it is a must have dish. Everyone wants to watch me cook this. I told them go to HowToBBQRight Malcom Reed. I did say this turkey was done Killer Hog Style!!!!!! The hardest part was keeping the temperature. Other than that it was super simple. The only thing I did different was I added some flavored butter under the skin over the breast I also cooked it in a roasting pan to protect my bird from the heat. The gravy juice it produced was amazing. A little chicken broth for moisture and some onion, carrots, and celery in the pan caught all the goodness from the turkey.
Thanks again for this one. Happy Holidays from Augusta, Georgia.
He's my "go to" Guy!! Love that Brother 💯
You sir, are my new favorite channel to watch for BBQ and Smoking.... Job well done!!!!
I have always been a fried turkey guy. I tried this today and it was unbelievably delicious. It is the absolute best turkey I've ever had. No more frying for me. Thank you Malcom for giving out this recipe.
Made my turkey last year with this exact method. Doing it again this year. Best turkey I've had, beats oven roasted and fried by miles.
oms123 same, last year people raves about the turkey I smoked from this video, never going back
Same here.
Same here. I followed this recipe step by step. Friends and relatives who told me they don't eat turkey, went through the one I smoked last year like it was their last meal. Doing it again this year by popular demand! LOL!!
@@scottlarock64 lol! I had the same response from some relatives as well. "I don't eat turkey but damn this is great!!"
How long should you let the turkey rest before carving and serving. This is the first year we will be doing a smoked turkey. Really looking forward to it.
I followed your instructions to the T and my bird came out fabulous! There was nothing left after THANKSGIVING DINNER!! The entire family enjoyed it and now I'm making another one for CHRISTMAS DINNER! Thank you for your instructions for smoking a turkey!!!
Hi friend! I want you to know that I have been using your turkey smoking method for YEARS. I adjust my flavor profile for our tastes but I come back to this video every time just for a refresher. Thank you for this tried and true method. Please don’t ever remove this video. 😊 Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! 🍗
Got mine on the smoker now. I’m doing 195-200 over night in a 21lber . Extra low an slow. Then I’m going to up the temp in morning to finish off if need be. This guy is awesome, I follow all his videos when it comes to smoking. Happy thanksgiving to everyone!!
Even after five years I’m still coming back to this video
Crazy Dogs yup me too
Man I’m so glad I watched this! I’m definitely doing this for my family on Thanksgiving! This is awesome!
You and my husband would get along great! He's the BBQer in our family. We totally agree. Smoked turkey is the best! Love your channel! Thank you for posting videos for others to learn from. You're awesome!
Here I am ... back again to prep turkey for Thanksgiving 2023! I love to cook and have my favorite recipes and methods, but this one of Malcolm's I love and come back to every year. I don't know what it is about this video, maybe that it was made by Malcolm "back in the day" and his method back then was so "REAL" and the result was so WONDERFUL! Thank you Malcolm ... see ya next year!!!!!🥰
love watching your videos. very informative. keep them coming.
Awesome job Brother! That bird sure looked good. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!
As usual, you are right on the money when it comes to your cooking and your recipes. I’ve been smoking turkey for the holidays for a couple of years. My results have been good, but with your tips, I’m sure this year will be absolutely outstanding. Thanks for the great videos and advise.
I made this for Thanksgiving and now I’m back for Christmas! I appreciate you sharing your fantastic recipes.
Best video ever . One of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions is watching this to prepare. Great job
Yup in watching and taking notes right now
Trying this year Mr Reed. Did your smoked brisket last year for christmas. The inlaws killed it! Nothing left. Thanks!
Official_Katelyn doing this as well. good luck!
Making this recipe again this year. Happy Thanksgiving to you Malcom and the family. Your recipes help us to draw people to our house for amazing food people rave about. Thanks for sharing these and giving us such amazing recipes. This is exactly why I’ll keep buying a big bag of your season every 6 months because you guys give us such good recipes to go with it.
Every year, I rewatch this video to refresh myself on how to do it right. Thanks for the great content!
This man taught me to cook ribs and this year I’m taking on the turkey for thanksgiving. The challenge doesn’t scare me one bit.
Lmfao im the same bro im learning how to smoke now cause of Malcom... u have pics of ur first smoked ribs?
That’s the same with me, I’ve been doing his ribs for awhile now but this Thanksgiving will be my first smoked turkey I’m doing. Just need to find a good poultry rub
This will be my first also! I’m just afraid my 22 lb turkey might be too big!
@@henryalcocer5127, I went w/a 14.5 lb for the first try to see how it comes out. I definitely want to try doing a larger turkey next year.
Malcom - Today you single handedly helped me cook my first thanksgiving turkey as the ‘man of the house’ for my wife, newborn daughter, and my in-laws. It came in just perfect and everyone absolutely loved it - as you said they would. Thanks a million and congrats on all your success since making this video!
Exactly, same experience!! Everyone thought it was the best they have ever had.
I'm SO GLAD I found your your channel! I love everything BBQ - I've always watched BBQ Pitmasters shows in Cable, got into smoking back in 2009, after watching these shows, but your video's are freaking cool, and informative! I've been using a small offset stick burner smoker, ( after using an electric smoker for a few years!) but just got a new Pellet Smoker I'm going to start using for bigger stuff, like Briskets, and of course, I'll be doing a smoked turkey this year on it as well for Thanksgiving. I've been really impressed by not only your techniques, but also your step by step information in your videos. Keep up the great work, and I'm have a great BBQ Season!
Did this smoked turkey today on my new Akorn Kamado smoker for Thanksgiving, by far the best turkey I’ve ever had and all of mine and my wife’s family kept giving compliments about how good it was. Thanks Malcom!!
Wow! That made my mouth water! Gonna try it! Many thanks!!
I used this recipe for my family’s thanksgiving this year and it was a hit! I got married in July and did one for my in-laws as well and they loved it! Been asked to do one for Christmas, too!
Thanks for the videos!
Just did a 10 lb. turkey using your video and OMG! It was the best turkey we ever had, hands down! Thanks!
This is my go to guy right here . I been watching his videos for awhile and always been a big help. He knows to smoke. Thumbs up . 👍
I'm gunna try this on Thanksgiving. My 1st smoked Turkey.
He is the truth! His brisket, ribs, whole hogs, pork shoulders all look so doggone good
I'm going to do the same hopefully I don't ruin Thanksgiving 😅
malcom is the man... this is my GO-TO smoked turkey recipe and it's bangin!
Going to smoke my first turkey tomorrow also for thanksgiving! Hoping I don’t screw up either lmao! This guy is the truth! I’m going to follow his steps for sure
Just finished eating Thanksgiving dinner and this was the most juicy, flavor filled turkey I've ever had. Thanks Malcom!
D
This is the only video I refer to every time I smoke a Turkey! Comes out great always!
Did this exact on thanksgiving,hands down the best turkey I’ve had EVER!
Wow that's an absolutely fantastic turkey. It's looks sensational and I love that brine, I also love how through your tips and instructions are. Thanks for sharing this.
thanks for checking it out
I followed this recipe and I won't make a turkey any other way, its the best turkey I've had. Awesome! Thank you.
Been making my turkeys just like this for 6 years now it's a hit every year
My nephew followed your instructions to the letter. He smoked his first turkey this past Thanksgiving. IT WAS AMAZING!! His Dad usually smokes in our family and he has officially been relieved of duty. That was the best turkey any of us have ever had. I asked my nephew for the recipe so I can smoke a turkey for Christmas. I hope I don't screw it up! lol!
Back again for the 4th year using Malcom’s recipe. Thank you sir, it’s always the big hit!!
I first watched this and learned in 2015 (I think) and now in 2019 I’m coming back for a refresher course. I’ve never been the injector type but this year I think I will lol. Good looking out, Reed. I and my family thank you✊🏾
Same bro,I've follow exact instructions , trust me you'll regret not injecting before 😏
I think I am going to use your recipe this year.Thanks!
Thanks Malcolm! I watched all your Turkey smoking videos. They helped my first smoked turkey be a success at the family Thanksgiving dinner!
I use this recipe every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Always comes out great.
this year I'm gonna smoke my first turkey this video is gonna help me out a bunch thank you
Bo Lucas ill be doing the same! good luck to ya
To you as well jlad817 happy thanksgiving
I tried this recipe for Christmas yesterday for my first ever Turkey (normally my old man makes it) and nailed it in my bullet smoker. Thanks Malcom! After buying my smoker a couple of years ago, I pretty much turn to this channel when I need tips or ideas for something different, it never disappoints!
Definitely become my go-to as I learn how to smoke. Keeps it simple and doesn't let all the flash and flare get in the way. Great teaching videos for sure. Keep up the good work!
I just watched this video, Malcom. I can't wait to try it.
Family doesn't appreciate the labor of thanksgiving! It starts FOR ME around the Saturday before! With thawing, marinating, chopping.... it's a good 3 days!
Malcolm Agee THIS. YES!!! 💯
That's the truth right there. Its several straight days of preparing the brine,letting it soak,shopping for all your ingredients,cutting up the fruits and veggies to stuff it with,pulling the bird out of the brine to prepare it for the smoker by rubbing it down and injecting it, getting the smoker up to temp, putting the bird on and keeping s watchful eye on it,basting it and covering with foil when it gets to the perfect darkness........its many hours of labor just for others to grab a plate and throw some of your awesome turkey on it and devour it in seconds!
Truth!
So true bro
Thanksgiving is Thursday and I'm doing this for the third time in a row but this time with 5 turkeys since its our turn to host lol appreciation and greetings from Florida.
Wow 5 turkeys! Howd it turn out?
making this right now, about 3 hours in, and it’s one of the best smelling pieces of meat I’ve ever had on the smoker. Also basted with melted butter with rosemary every 45 min so far like you did in your newest turkey video. can’t wait to try it!
Malcom I made this for thanksgiving this year and it was more than a hit, it’s the new favorite. Typically everyone loves the Tabasco turkey I fry but this year it came in second. Thanks for your videos, you are making me look like a pro. This turkey cook is the bomb!
