SMOKED WHOLE TURKEY
Steps:
- Remove the turkey from the fridge and allow to sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking.
- Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal grill or smoker for indirect heat, at approximately 275 degrees F. Sprinkle in wood chips (such as hickory, apple or pecan wood) that have soaked in cold water for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours, and allow them to char before cooking.
- Place the turkey in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Brush the entire turkey with the oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place the turkey in the grill or smoker and cook for 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together the chicken stock, honey and vinegar. Baste the turkey after cooking for 45 minutes. Repeat the basting every 45 minutes until the internal temperature of the thigh registers 165 degrees F and the breast registers 155 degrees F, about 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the bird.
- Remove the turkey to a large cutting board and let rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
TURKEY IN A SMOKER
This is a great recipe for smoked turkey. A barbecue grill is nearly impossible to cook a large bird. A smoker is best for this. I prefer hickory chips or hickory wood. Hickory generates a more even smokiness than other woods, and it does not matter whether the wood is green or seasoned. Mesquite, if not well seasoned, will generate a creosote type coating because of the sap that oozes out of the wood while cooking.

SMOKED TURKEY
This low-fuss, oven-free method for Thanksgiving turkey results in a supremely moist bird with a lightly smoked taste and burnished, crispy skin. We also marinated the bird with citrus and herbs, which is important for infusing the meat with a depth of flavor.

Steps:
- Pulse rosemary leaves, peppercorns, coriander, fennel, bay leaves, and orange zest in a spice grinder until finely ground, 30 to 45 seconds. Stir salt into mixture. Season turkey cavity with salt mixture, then rub it all over skin. Transfer turkey to a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack; refrigerate, uncovered, overnight.
- Fill a ceramic grill about halfway with hardwood (lump) charcoal. Fill a chimney with charcoal and light it. When coals are uniformly gray, pour them over the unlit charcoal spread over bottom of grill, avoiding vents (for proper airflow). Add one unsoaked 3-by-3-inch applewood chunk (for bolder flavor, add another). Place indirect-cooking rack in grill. Place a 9-by-13-inch disposable pan filled halfway with water on top of it; top with direct-cooking grate. Close lid and adjust temperature, using vents (start with top and bottom vents each opened about a quarter of the way), bringing internal grill temperature to 300° to 325°; maintain that temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove turkey from refrigerator; rinse and pat dry. Let stand at room temperature, uncovered, 1 hour. Stuff cavity with halved orange, onion, and rosemary sprigs. Tuck wing tips behind back and tie legs together with twine. Rub oil all over turkey; season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place turkey on cooking grate and cook, covered, and maintaining grill temperature between 300° and 325°, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 155°, 2 hours to 2 hours, 30 minutes (begin checking after about 1 1/2 hours; it may take up to 3 hours, depending on exact size of bird). Let stand 30 minutes before carving (internal temperature will continue to rise, reaching a minimum of 165°).

Steps:
- Put all the marinade ingredients into a bowl and pour over a generous amount of olive oil. Squeeze everything together with your hands to blend all the flavors.
- Have the butcher cut the turkey into 4 pieces and remove the bones from the breast. (Save the neck and backbone for the gravy.) To marinate, put the turkey on a large platter and pour on the marinade; turn the turkey over in the marinade to make sure it is well coated on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Remove the turkey from the refrigerator about 1/2 hour before you are ready to grill it. Heat the grill to medium and wipe the grate with some oil. Wipe the marinade from the turkey and season it well with salt and pepper. Put the turkey on the grill, skin side down, and cook for 30 minutes. Turn the bird over and continue grilling, basting with more olive oil, until the juices run clear and the internal temperature of the thigh is 180 degrees F, about 1 hour total. Set aside, cover with foil, and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.

Steps:
- Let turkey sit at room temperature at least 1 hour. Stuff turkey with aromatics or stuffing of your choice; tie the cavity closed.
- Open grill vents. Place a chimney starter on the small lower grill grate, put 50 charcoal briquettes in starter, and ignite; let burn until ash gray. Remove chimney starter, center roasting pan on grate, and pour out coals, dividing evenly on each long side of pan. (Be careful not to spill ashes into pan, since it will collect the turkey drippings needed for gravy.) Top with main grill grate.
- Combine oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub or brush mixture all over turkey.
- Place turkey on top grate, directly over roasting pan, and cover with grill lid (keep lid vent open). Every 45 minutes, add 8 unlit briquettes on each long side of roasting pan to keep heat even. (Some grills have a grate with space on the sides that allows for this addition. Otherwise you'll need a helper to lift the grate with the turkey while you add the coals.) Cook turkey until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (and the stuffing) reads 165 degrees, 2 to 3 hours (about 10 minutes per pound with aromatics, 12 minutes with stuffing). Remove from heat, and let rest 20 minutes before carving.

Steps:
- Mix hot water and kosher salt in a 54-quart cooler, stirring until the salt dissolves. Mix in vegetable broth, honey, and orange juice. Pour in the ice cubes, place the turkey into the brine with breast side up, and close the cooler lid. Place the cooler in a cold place and let the turkey marinate overnight or up to 12 hours. Brine temperature must stay colder than 40 degrees F (4 degrees C).
- Remove turkey from brine, discard brine, and dry the turkey thoroughly with paper towels. Mix vegetable oil with poultry seasoning in a bowl, and rub the turkey with the mixture. Place apple, celery, onion, and orange pieces into the cavity of the turkey.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for indirect heat and lightly oil the grate. Build a 'smoke bomb' by placing about 1 cup of hickory or cherry wood chips into the middle of a 12x12-inch doubled piece of aluminum foil. Gather up the edges of the foil to make a pouch and leave the pouch open at the top. Set the smoke bomb directly onto the coals if grilling with charcoal, or onto the flame bar of a gas grill.
- Set the turkey onto the grill in position for indirect heat, insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey breast, not touching a bone, and close the grill. Set the probe thermometer for 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
- Grill turkey for 1 hour and check the bird; if skin is already golden brown, cover the breast, legs, and wings with aluminum foil. Replace the smoke bomb with a new one; close cover and continue to grill until probe thermometer registers 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 2 to 3 more hours. Remove the fruit and vegetable pieces from the cavity, cover turkey with aluminum foil, and let rest for 1 hour before carving.

- Preheat whatever type of grill you are using for indirect smoking at 225 degrees F. If you're using gas, turn on half of the burners to medium-low and leave the other half off. If you are using charcoal, preheat your coals until just ashed over, dump them on one far side of your grill, and set the vents to about 25% open. If you are using a dedicated smoker, preheat your grill to 225 degrees F. Add the wood chunks or chips, if needed, to achieve a thin blue smoke.
- Remove your defrosted turkey from the packaging. Remove the neck and giblets from the inside cavity of the bird. If your turkey has been brined, carefully rinse the exterior of the turkey with cold water. Pat the turkey down on all sides with a paper towel. Tie the legs together with butcher's twine and tuck the wing tips behind the shoulder joint.
- Coat the exterior of the bird with olive oil or melted butter and then season on all sides with the Sweet Rub.
- At 225 degrees F, you can plan on approximately 30 minutes per pound for your turkey to smoke. For example, this 15 pound turkey will take 7 and 1/2 hours at 225 degrees F. I always plan an extra 30 minutes, just in case.

- If frozen, thaw the turkey. As a rule of thumb, you will need one day in the refrigerator for ever 5 pounds of turkey. I always give myself an extra day or two, to be safe. Place the turkey on a large baking sheet as it thaws, to trap any liquid released while thawing.
- We recommend this simple turkey brine. (If using a frozen turkey, it can be added to the brine near the end of the thawing process).
- Add 1 cup softened butter to a mixing bowl and add finely chopped rosemary, thyme and garlic. Add the salt and pepper and mix well. (The herb butter can be made several days in advance).
- Remove the turkey from the brine (discard brine) and pat turkey dry thoroughly with paper towels. Place on a large baking tray. Carefully use your hands to separate the skin of the turkey from the breast (just above the main cavity of the bird). Spread the herb butter between the skin and breast of the turkey. Take care not to tear or puncture the skin as you create a large pocket over each of the breasts.
