A different way to serve turkey. This is not a slow roasted bird! If you are grilliterate, this can be done using the indirect method with a little hickory or mesquite added to the charcoal. -- posted by chef blade

Excellent dish for Thanksgiving. Smoking the Turkey gives it a wonderful flavor and frees up the oven for other dishes. Serves 10 with plenty of leftovers. Serve with Recipe #77817 and mashed potatoes. -- posted by SJ Taylor

Apple and Tea Brine, Injected, Rubbed and Deep Fried Turkey

Thu, 08 Jul 2004 20:00:08 -0400

I know sounds a little kinky! What more can a turkey want? I brined, injected, rubbed, and deep fried this turkey for the Fourth of July. This recipe is here for you to play with. You can choice one or all of these methods for making your turkey. This is a quick way to cook a turkey. I had a 14 pound turkey cooked in 35 minutes. All in the time is in the prep. Make sure to remove plastic leg holder and pop up timer. Giblets and neck can be used for an other use(Stock).I gave this 15 hours of passive work time. Brining is good at 10 hours. Take note the turkey looks burnt but its not its all the dry rub and being deep fried. Everyone picks at the crispy skin as it's being craved. It's a no wonder that no fingers get? It's wonderful. Yes you can just brine, dry rub, inject AND OR deep fry this recipe. You'll find any of all options or one way wonderful. -- posted by ~Rita~

Smoked Holiday Turkey

Mon, 19 Sep 2005 16:44:54 -0400

My father first did this years ago and perfected it over time. He made the mistake of giving them for gifts one year and was swamped with so many requests that he had to stop doing it. This has been the standard turkey at our family's holiday dinners for 25 years. -- posted by Cocinero

Smoked Turkey With Sweet Coffee Glaze

Sun, 13 Nov 2005 21:45:56 -0500

All you need to smoke this turkey is a grill with a lid and a bag of hickory chips. Braising the turkey results in marvelously complex flavors; sweet, bitter and herbaceous. We used french roast and 1 1/2 cups brown sugar and 1 cup cane syrup (Highly recommend). Recipe adapted from Allison Vines-Rushing and Slade Rushing From Rushing Home for Thanksgiving WINE: Try a Virginia Riesling such as Windham Riesling (2005) with this complex dish. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Can't Make up My Mind Smoked/Fried Turkey

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 20:28:09 -0500

Got this idea off the Internet and gave it a try--man was it good. Partially smoke your bird, then finish it in the fryer. You can do this with any poultry. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better ;0). -- posted by Pokey in San Antonio, TX

Easy Smoked Turkey

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 00:09:12 -0400

Every bit as good as any fancy meat store. We always buy an extra turkey when they're on sale, for this purpose. Makes great snacky food for when company's over, for sandwiches, game day--whatever. It will be a pretty pink color when done cooking. YUM! Note: Don't pay much attention to the nutritional info. Yes, the sodium will still be high, but this isn't taking into account that you're not actually eating all of this stuff. -- posted by Battle in Seattle

Smoked Turkey Basted With Cascabel Paste Oil

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 20:08:25 -0500

Recipe by Tera Sol Foods. Use the slightly nutty flavor cascabel chiles for this delicious and simple turkey recipe. Chile cascabel are bright to dark red large round chiles. The name means "rattle" because of the shape and the seeds make a rattling sound when you shake the chile. Cascabels have a slightly nutty flavor and are typically toasted on a comal and added to meat sauces and salsas -- posted by TxGriffLover

Rotisserie Turkey

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 01:36:45 -0400

To properly grill a turkey using a rotisserie the unit must be positioned so the heat source is never directly under the bird. The indirect heat will allow the interior portions of the meat to cook thoroughly before the exterior becomes overdone. Preheating must be done before rotisserie grilling your turkey. A 12 to 14 pound bird is the maximum weight that can be accommodated on a standard rotisserie unit. The turkey must be attached securely to the spit assembly making sure it does not slip on the spit as the rotisserie rotates. The turkey must be trussed properly so the wing and legs don't get caught as it turns. The turkey must be balanced on the rotisserie unit for if not it will not turn and burn out the motor. A turkey intended for rotisserie grilling can not be bread stuffed. The slower cooking time may not kill harmful bacteria as rapidly as with oven roasting. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer before removing the turkey from the heat source. -- posted by ~Rita~
