Best Ever Smoked Turkey
My hubby’s recipe for the turkeys he’s smoked–everyone asks him how he does it as they are so good.
Smoked Turkey
Any size ( we usually get big ones though) frozen turkey, thawed
Lemon Pepper
Thick Slab bacon
Thick rounded toothpicks as they are more durable
Charcoal
My hubby takes the thawed turkey & puts lemon pepper all over it.
Then he takes the thick slab bacon & puts it the pieces all over the turkey securing each piece with the toothpicks.
Around 10 PM he puts the turkey on the charcoal smoker. He fills the charcoal pan with charcoal
and the water pan with water.
It cooks all night–should be done in the morning when you get up.
Occasionaly when the weather is really cold or if it has rained during the night,
the turkey will need to cook a little longer. The turkey will be very moist inside and
very flavorful. Everyone who has eaten his smoked turkey raves about it.
