Did anyone ever smoke their turkey?

[The Princess]

We have an electric smoker but have never smoked a turkey~was wondering if anyone here has smoked their turkey and what it was like???

 

[lsyorke]

Never did it ourselves, but we did get one as a gift. It was pretty nasty! LOL!

I have not, but a relative did. It was wonderful. I have to have one in the oven also, I need it for the gravy.

DH's uncle has a smoker and makes wonderful turkey in it. I always thought turkey was dry and a bit tasteless, but smoked turkey is moist and has a great flavor.

My husband wanted to smoke a turkey for Thanksgiving so we did a tester two weeks ago to make sure it worked

We brined it first using Alton Brown's recipe. It turned out wonderful but I think the skin tastes funny and didn't eat it. We are doing another one on Thursday.

My husband bought a smoker this summer and he has been smoking everything he can get his hands on The smoked cheese was wonderful!

Bill Clinton did...he just didn't inhale.


I much prefer smoked or fried turkey,

A plain, baked turkey is very bland...boring even.

A good friend of ours smokes his turkeys. I don't care for it, too juicy and heavy smoke flavor, don't think it would taste good with gravy imo but my husband really liked it on sandwiches. Our friends love them that way.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that when they saw this thread!!!

We have two turkeys every Thanksgiving, one regular, one smoked. There are rarely any leftovers of the smoked turkey. I have the meat department take the legs off so it doesn't take as long to smoke. I "stuff" the turkey with onions and celery. The legs go on one rack and the rest of the turkey on the top rack. It is so yummy!

I had a friend that would smoke dozen's of turkeys and give them as holiday gifts. We couldn't wait to get it and it would be gone in minutes! It was wonderful!

We have a smoker but I've never attempted it myself

Not quite the same, but DH smoked a chicken last night and it was wonderful. He injected it with marinade the night before & then smoked it yesterday afternoon. It was not dry at all.

We have only had smoked turkey. My dad will sometimes also make a fried turkey. I don't care for baked turkey, it is too dry.

My stepdad smokes the turkey when we have Thanksgiving there. It's okay, but I'm not that much of a turkey fan anyhow. DH loves it smoked.
