Smoked Turkey


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 whole turkey (about 12 pounds), thawed if frozen
  • Your favorite injectable marinade or chicken broth
  • Your favorite Cajun seasoning

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Turn on smoker and set temperature to 275˚F.
  2. Rinse and dry the thawed turkey. Using a marinade injection syringe, inject turkey with your favorite injectable marinade. Season outside and inside of turkey with your favorite Cajun seasoning, rubbing it into the skin.
  3. Place turkey on grates and close lid. Smoke for 3 1/2 - 4 hours or until internal temperature in breast reaches 165˚F. (This total cooking time is for a 12-pound whole turkey. Based on the weight of your turkey, you will need to adjust the total cooking time. Estimated time at 275˚F is about 18 minutes per pound. Make sure your internal temperature in the breast reaches 165˚F.)
