Smoked Turkey

Smoked Turkey
Looking to up your turkey game? Smoking is a great way to infuse bold flavors and juicy tenderness into your bird. Try this easy recipe for a tasty treat.

Preparation time: 20 min


Cooking time: 10 hours


Resting time: N/A


Total time: 10 hrs 20 mins


Serves: 12

Ingredients:

- 1 whole turkey (10 pounds), neck and giblets removed


- 4 cloves garlic, crushed


- 2 tablespoons seasoned salt


- 1/2 cup butter


- 2 cans (12 fluid ounces each) cola-flavored carbonated beverage


- 1 medium apple, quartered


- 1 medium onion, quartered


- 1 tablespoon garlic powder


- 1 tablespoon salt


- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper


- 2 cups hickory wood chips, or more as needed (optional)

Method:

- Preheat a smoker to 225 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C).


- Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat dry. Rub crushed garlic over the outside of the turkey and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Transfer to a disposable roasting pan.


- Fill the turkey cavity with butter, cola, apple, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cover the turkey loosely with foil.


- Add wood chips to the smoker according to the manufacturer's directions. Place the roasting pan in the preheated smoker. Smoke the turkey, basting every 1 to 2 hours with juices from the bottom of the roasting pan, for 5 hours.


- Add more wood chips if desired. Continue smoking and basting until the turkey is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 5 more hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).

Notes:


Soak wood chips in water for 30 minutes before adding to the smoker for enhanced smoke flavor. Monitor turkey's internal temperature with a meat thermometer for safe cooking.
