How To Smoke A Turkey

If you have never smoked a turkey, now is the time to try it. It is much easier than you think. 

We recommend brining your turkey as it will give a nice crispy skin with juicy flavorful meat. For this one we did a simple brine of salt, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and thyme. However there are many different brine kits out there to purchase if you don't want to make one yourself. 

Then after we let the bird sit submerged in the brine overnight we pull it out and pat it dry. We then added some of our High Steaks Signature Rub to the bird. 

Finally onto the Traeger, which we set to 250 degrees. We smoked it for a couple of hours until it hit an internal temperature of 165 degrees. If you have a MEATER PRO it makes this even easier as the app will give you an estimated cook time.
