GET THE RECIPE - kosmosq.com/blogs/recipes/smoked-turkey-on-the-ole-hickory-smoker

Last year was my FIRST year using the Kosmos Q Turkey Brine kit. I was worried that my two young kids (4 and 8 at the time) wouldn't like the flavor. This year my oldest Daughter says, "Are you going to do that Dirty Bird stuff for Thanksgiving again? (I also use it suring the year with chicken)" They LOVED it! I spatchcocked my Turkey and cooked it in the oven so the recipe is versatile.

I cooked this exact recipe this Thanksgiving. It was the best tasting and juiciest Turkey I ever ate. Delicious! I was thinking about injecting it also, but it wasn’t needed. The 24 hour brine was enough.

I have tried Kosmo's and Meat Church turkey brine. The Kosmo's was the one that people preferred. Just make sure you don't over do it with the brine, and I always rinse it off. When you cut into the turkey make sure you have some paper towels near by.

How does this work with the butterball turkeys or other turkeys that have the salt solution injected? Its nearly impossible to find 1 thats not.

After brine so you not set it in the fridge for a few hrs uncovered? You just go straight to the smoker?

@KosmosQ

Depends on how much time you have! If you have time to let it sit in the fridge, covered in paper towels, you can do that for a few hours. If not, it's okay to go straight to the smoker

I have an older Old hickory smoker. I was just wondering what your cook time on that was. I love watching your videos keep up the good work. you have helped me so much you don't even know

@KosmosQ

8 ай бұрын

Appreciate you 👊🏼💥 It's not about time, it's about temp. You want it to be at least 165°F in the thickest part of the breast.

You didn't give the most important detail...??? What temp did you cook it to? and the dark and white meat will be different temps when not spatchcocked, so what should each be when you call it done ?

@KosmosQ

8 ай бұрын

For all poultry parts, the done temp is at least 165°F (74ºC) in the thickest part of the breast.

About how long does it take to get to 165? Just a ballpark so I know when to start it.

@KosmosQ

7 ай бұрын

Really depends on the size of your turkey, what cooker you're using, etc.

I will own a Ol Hickory before I kick the grease pan. I messed around and smoked a bird about 6 or 7 years ago for turkey day and I’ve been assigned to it ever since. There’s no comparison. You’ll never deep fry or oven cook one again.

It will retain more moisture, so it's not advised as the hot oil will likely cause insane popping and possible overflow of the oil

To my understanding most turkeys are already brined. And they say you shouldn't brine them further again.

Wait, what? You're not seriously saying you're the first one who brine'd a turkey, right? This has gone on for over 100 years now. I assume you meant the first time YOU did a turkey brine was 9 years ago.... I love some of your rubs and will continue to buy them, but... you don't need to brine if you cook it right. I use a rotisserie smoker every year without brine that will knock your socks off. Just sayin'
