Turkey in a Smoker "This is a great recipe for smoked turkey. A barbecue grill is nearly impossible to cook a large bird. A smoker is best for this. I prefer hickory chips or hickory wood. Hickory generates a more even smokiness than other woods, and it does not matter whether the wood is green or seasoned. Mesquite, if not well seasoned, will generate a creosote type coating because of the sap that oozes out of the wood while cooking." Ingredients: 1 (10 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed 4 cloves garlic, crushed 2 tablespoons seasoned salt 1/2 cup butter 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans cola-flavored carbonated beverage 1 apple, quartered 1 onion, quartered 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon ground black pepper Check All Add to Shopping List Directions: 1.Preheat smoker to 225 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C). 2.Rinse turkey under cold water, and pat dry. Rub the crushed garlic over the outside of the bird, and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Place in a disposable roasting pan. Fill turkey cavity with butter, cola, apple, onion, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Cover loosely with foil. 3.Smoke at 225 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C) for 10 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C) when measured in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste the bird every 1 to 2 hours with the juices from the bottom of the roasting pan.
