We love smoke in our house and in our family.  (I just re-read that last sentence.  That could certainly be read differently but we are definitely talking food).  I have 2 smokers in my backyard – a GREEN EGG and a TRAEGER.   Smoking a turkey . two turkeys actually, has become a tradition at our Thanksgiving.  Our Thanksgiving is at my in-laws.  More than 50 people come over and there is a lot of pressure to get the turkeys right.  I have to cook them on a Weber grill.  I have nothing against a Weber but it is not a smoker.

Thanksgiving Smoked Turkey

I bought a smoking tube for my Thanksgiving Smoked Turkey.  I used my pellet smoker which makes smoking a lot easier.  I used one of those starters that can heat the pellets.  The first time I tried it, I did not get the pellets ignited.  This time I got it to work.   So the additional smoke helped with flavoring the turkey.  As mentioned, I have to use a Weber with my in-laws.  I am going to add the pellet smoking tube to the Weber and this should enhance the smoke.

Ingredients

  • 14 LB Turkey
  • 2 Tbsp Spanish Paprika
  • 1 Tbsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Lawry's Seasoned Salt

  1. Pat the turkey dry.  Spice liberally with the spices. Stuff with the leek and the lemon.

    Prepare your smoker and set to a temperature of 225 degrees.  The wood used is mostly hickory and a little cherry.

    Half way through the cooking, raise the temperature to 300 degrees.  Use a meat thermometer and check your turkey to make sure it gets to 165 degrees for an internal temperature.

    Let rest for at least 15 minutes.

    Serve and enjoy!

      Thx for checking in. It worked out pretty well. There was not a lot of room on the grill. So I had to put it on top of the smoker box and had to keep adding a little water so it did not flame up.
