This Year My Turkey Will Be SMOKIN :)

Dad, What's That On The Grill?

I must say that the very best turkey that you can eat is a Fried Turkey. I have been frying  turkeys for over ten years.  Fried turkeys have become popular and it seems that everbody is frying.  When I still want a juicy turkey, but don't feel like the work that goes into a fried turkey, I will inject my turkey and cover it with cajun spices and let it sit in the oven overnight. Then I throw that bad boy into the oven.

When I really feel like kicking back and still having a good turkey, I will do a smoked turkey.  There is lot of information on the web about smoking a turkey, but I have found that the easiest set of directions are courtesy of Geoff Maw.

Do  you need a special smoker and equipment?

NAH?

I throw that baby on my charcoal grill, put the coals on one side and the bird on the other and let it go.  I usually will put it on before I go to bed.  Some people baste and keep adding charcoal to the fire......if I am lazy, I do none of that.  If it's not done in the morning, I chuck it into the oven until done. 

Here is Geoff's recipe.  Try it for your next gathering....You wont be dissapointed.  Ps.  I sometimes inject the bird also to make it a little juicier

I have found that it takes around 14-16 hours to cook a 10-12 lb turkey during summer and as long as 20 hours during winter, outside air temp makes a big difference. I have never had a dry overcooked bird YET!!

Now if you would like my secret recipe for making the average turkey into SUPER BUZZARD!!! Here it is below. Good luck ..... Geoff Maw
