Have You Tried Smoked Barbeque Turkey? If Not, You're Missing a Treat!
I'm surprised that more people don't try smoked turkey. Smoked barbeque turkey is another tasty product of the smoker. It's much more flavorful than traditional roast turkey. And who doesn't like those barbeque turkey legs they serve at Disney World. It's one of my favorite treats at the parks. Why is it not a common choice? Probably because "store bought" smoked barbeque turkey is rather expensive. Well, the new barbeque cook is in luck as a visitor to this site because anyone can prepare it on a kettle grill or a dedicated smoker. The vertical water smoker is almost tailor made for this application because it creates moist, hot smoke. The challenge is that it takes patience because it takes a while to cook.

The key to success with smoked barbeque turkey is brining . Brining makes achieving a juicy bird almost foolproof.
Brining is also an opportunity to add additional flavors by adding fruit juices, spices, and sweetners like honey.
Another key to success is chosing a smaller bird when you decide to smoke. Ten to fourteen pounds is the ideal size.
If you chose a large bird it will just take that much longer to cook. You also don't want to select a bird that is too large for the smoker (unless you are using an offset or larger smoker).
Warning!!!! Remember to wash and disinfect anything that comes in contact with raw poultry. Salmonella poisoning is no joke so be careful.
