OT: How Do You Prefer Your Turkey?

[Big Sheep81]

Standing profile to me, neck stretched, standing still, 11 inch beard, 1 1/2 spurs...........

He gets smoked twice.................

86 proof has better flavor but 101 will get you 17'd up quicker.

Yes, last year i brined it, injected it, rubbed and smoked, it was good, but make no mistake, frying is the best method by a mile.

Can't wait to see what you cretins do with "rubbed and smoked" above. @Barkman Turner Overdrive what you got?

My Thanksgiving turkeys come from Popeyes

I don’t always get turkeys, but when I do, I prefer them at Laurel Lanes

Yeah. Water pan does next to nothing to keep the turkey moist. Overcooking is the usual culprit. But one thing someone else posted in this thread may be part of it. He smokes his turkey at a higher temperature for a shorter time instead of low & slow. That's how I've always done it too & mine always come out moist and tender. I think low & slow smoking works fine on pork butt or ribs because of the fat content, but maybe not so good on lean turkey.

I found low&slow is not the best for chicken or turkey. I brine for 24 hours and smoke at 350 until 162 IT. Not dry at all. More moist than a Diddy party!
