:marseyturkey: Smoked Turkey HELP :!marseyturkeyhappy:

Some foolish dramneurodivergent and I have been tasked with the turkey for the family Thanksgiving.

:marseybottom#:

I had always just baked a cornish hen for myself and have no experience with larger fowl; he only has experience with smoking beef or pork. It has been agreed on that this turkey will be smoked.

Are there any successful smokedturkeychads here to lend guidance? We're looking to smoke a 10-12lb to serve 6 peepos. I am currently being silly and leaning towards seriouseat's spatchpeepee method.

:#marseydrama:

I will also be baking delicious pumpkin cookies with cream cheese as a surprise (I won a company baking contest with these) :marseyretard2:

If you're smoking it you should be at a lower temp than roasting so spatchpeepee is not necessary. Say 275-300F. Cook the stuffing separately and fill the bird with rough chopped onion celery and lemon if you like. Truss the legs together with twine. Slather with room temp butter (lay it on pretty thick) and season however you like. Salt and pepper is fine. Baste with butter occasionally and check temp on the thigh joint for doneness. Skin should end up dark golden brown and crispy.

Go with cornbread dressing.
