Smoked Turkey on the Akorn
This might very well be the best turkey I have ever cooked. I'm a big fan of deep fried turkeys but after this cook, I might not look back...

Very Nice
Did rubbing the butter on after the injections vs before the injections push some of the injected butter out ? Just thinking I might try and putting the butter on outside first if it would help keep more of the juices in the bird. Every man needs a cave |

You're making me pull a turkey out of the freezer. That looks killer!

John, thank you for this! Super informative and wonderful to encourage people. We call these our nibblin turkey - not to replace the traditional oven deal - but as an add-on.
Either way - my boys 10 and 12 make me promise every T day that I will cook turkey once a month - and of course, I never do. But we need to, don't we! Hail to the Turkey - Hail to Smoked Turkey and Hail to John for the great video!

I really like the melted butter injection idea. I'm totally stealing that for my Thanksgiving turkeys this year.
I've used that store-bought stuff that seems to resemble popcorn butter, but I think this will turn out a lot better flavor and keep the meat very moist. Thanks for the tip. |
