Here's one I just did last Sunday - all that's left is bones for turkey soup (and there's only two of us!) - Smoked Turkey - Don't like it any other way now.

Many thanks Ashmont! I'll have to show this thread to my wife since smoked turkey is her absolute fave and maybe it will be the inspiration to actually get that smoker b4 TG is here!

ok fellas I think all this turkey pron is awesome, however... Im not learning hot to do this. I would assume everyone is brining, cuz other wise that bird will be dry, but do you cook it hot like chiken, or do you go low and slow?

Poultry takes smoke very easy, so be careful with wood. I cook mine just about like in the oven and do not brine.

a lot of people brine. i never brine. i want it to taste like turkey... and cherry smoke.

of course, i don't know it all. it's just my experience and how i do it. try it both ways and see what you like best. some of it depends on your cooker type.

I appreciate it, I normally don't bring my chicken. I just heard before that people brine turkey to maintain mositure. I have dont turkey brests before but that was a long time ago, and I can't even remember how they turned out, I would assume good. But I will be cooking on either my trusty UDS, or if I feel like cookin somthing else my stumps. guess it depends on the size of the bird too

I always brine turkeys. I've cut back on the salt and started using honey instead of brown sugar, and have been real happy with the results. Latest recipe can be found in this thread:
http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=59514

As far as temps, it all depends on how you like your skin. If you want it crispy, you will need to bump your temps to 300 or higher for the last hour or so.
If you aren't worried about crispy skin (when I do turkey breasts for sandwich meat, I remove the skin and don't worry about it) then keep it low and slow.
Another options is to just go with high heat (300 plus) all the way. Your turkey will still be nice and smokey, plus you will have a nice crispy skin.
