Smoked Turkey

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 4 minutes
Total Time 54 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • A 12-15# turkey works the best
  • Turkey injection - I like to use a butter based injection.
  • Seasoning of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Inject the turkey the night before to give the meat time to marinate.
  • Spatchcock the turkey by cutting out the backbone and flattening the bird on your cutting board.
  • Oil the turkey inside and out, and season liberally.
  • Get your smoker set up and started with your choice of wood.
  • When the smoker is up to the proper temp, put your turkey on and cook to the proper temp - my smoker will take 4-5 hours.
  • Remove when the turkey is 165 degrees F in the dark meat.
  • Tent with foil and let stand for 20 minutes before carving.
