Turkey in the smoker

General Cooking your catch

Got a pork butt in there too, but it needs a couple more hours.

Looks perfectly done. Hard to beat smoked turkey.

That looks great! Gotta try that.

Did you brine or inject?

Thanks for posting.

Neither. I like to keep it simple.

Made a rub, used onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, crushed oregano, thyme and a pinch of turmeric. Turmeric helps with the color.
Basted with olive oil and then rubbed it.

Also, stuffed it with coarsely chopped celery, carrots, oinon and a few cloves of garlic.

Smoke for about 8 hrs until temp is about 180-185.

Smoking a Turkey can provide a moist and better tasting bird than any other method I have found.

That does sound good, OFM!

How long did you smoke it for and how big is the bird?

It was a small bird, don’t remember the weight. I think it was about 11-12#'s.

It was around 8 hrs, but temp is much more important than time. 180-185.
