Title: PBC Turkey with new rack
Post by: KC-Q on November 28, 2015, 10:45:29 AM

So I tried my first Turkey this year.  I think I smashed it out of the park.  Here's what I did!

Bought Fresh Amish turkey.

Brined for 24 hrs.  Used Steven Raichlen's Double Whiskey recipe (using High West Campfire whiskey).  BTW, I doubled the recipe to completely submerge the bird.

Patted dry and seasoned inside cavity and out with 50/50 salt, pepper and a little Thyme.

Smoked for 2.5hrs in the PBC till breats were at 155.  Then transferred to the oven at 250.  Wrapped in foil with 2 sticks butter and repositioned the probe to the thigh.  Cooked till the thigh was 174 and let rest for 30 min.  UH-MAZ-IN'

Enjoy!
