@meatlicious_: How to Smoke the Perfect Turkey 1. Preheat Your Smoker. Set your smoker to 275°F with your choice of wood (apple, cherry, or hickory). Make sure you see thin, blue smoke before starting. 2. Prep the Turkey. Remove the defrosted turkey from its packaging and take out the neck and giblets. Pat the turkey dry, tie the legs with twine, and tuck the wings back. 3. Butter It Up. Generously coat the entire turkey—inside, outside, and under the skin—with Cowboy butter. Stuff the cavity with apple, onion, lemon, sage, parsley, thyme, and salt. 4. Smoke the Turkey. Place the turkey on the smoker grates, breast side up. Smoke at 275°F for about 20 minutes per pound (e.g., 5 hours for a 15-pound bird). 5. Check the Temp. Use a thermometer to ensure the breast and thigh reach at least 165°F. Test both sides to ensure even cooking. 6. Rest and Serve. Let the turkey rest for 15 minutes before carving. Then, slice and serve the juiciest, most flavorful smoked turkey your guests have ever had. Enjoy! #cooking #thanksgiving #holiday #turkey #leftovers
