Choosing the Right Turkey

The first step to smoking a great turkey is choosing the right bird. Look for a turkey that is fresh or frozen, and that weighs between 12 and 15 pounds. Avoid turkeys that are injected with a salt solution, as this can make the meat tough.

Brining the Turkey

Brining the turkey is an essential step that helps to keep the meat moist and flavorful. To brine the turkey, simply dissolve 1 cup of salt in 1 gallon of water. Add the turkey to the brine and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.

Seasoning the Turkey

Once the turkey has been brined, it's time to season it. You can use your favorite rub or seasoning mix, or you can create your own. Some popular spices to use on smoked turkey include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Smoking the Turkey

Now it's time to smoke the turkey! Preheat your Masterbuilt electric smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the turkey on the smoker grate and smoke for 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Resting the Turkey

Once the turkey is smoked, it's important to let it rest for 30 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.

Carving the Turkey

To carve the turkey, simply follow these steps:

1. Remove the legs and thighs from the body.
2. Cut the breast meat away from the bone.
3. Slice the breast meat and serve.
