Creole-Infused Smoked Turkey Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 whole turkey (size according to your preference)
- Tony Chachere’s creole style butter
- Kinders the Blend seasoning
- Blackstone Bayou Blend seasoning
- Competition blend pellets
- Hickory chips
- Unsalted butter
Instructions:
1. Thaw the turkey completely, allowing 1 day per 5lbs of turkey.
2. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
3. Inject the turkey all over, focusing especially on the breast meat, using a whole bottle of Tony Chachere’s creole style butter.
4. Season the turkey's skin with a generous coating of Kinders the Blend and Blackstone Bayou Blend.
5. Preheat the smoker to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Use competition blend pellets and add hickory chips to the smoke tube for an extra flavor kick.
6. Place the seasoned turkey in the smoker and cook at 300 degrees for approximately 2-3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees.
7. After 1.5-2 hours, baste the turkey with a mixture of melted butter and Blackstone Bayou Blend seasoning.
8. Once the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees, baste the turkey again then increase the heat to 350 degrees and continue cooking until the turkey reaches 165 degrees.
9. Remove the turkey from the smoker and let it rest for 15-30 minutes before serving.
10. Slice and enjoy your perfectly smoked Creole-infused turkey. Smoke on!

    I smoked two fifteen pound turkey's in my my pit boss. Smoked them low temp for two hours (170 I think)and cooked them for another two and half hours at 300. Once I put them in I never opened the door or touched them except once to fill up the water pan.They came out perfectly browned and picturesque. Everyone at Dinner said they were amazing.

    Hi!!!!! So my guy just bought me the Pit Boss Pro Series 4, conveniently days before Thanksgiving. ☺️ I pre-ordered a frozen turkey from WallyWorld. What was to be a 12-15 lb turkey was act21 lbs. I’d already subscribed and watched your smoked Turkey video. So I knew right away that I had a not so small problem. I immediately hit the google and did some research. “Spatchcock”, was the answer AND now a very funny word to say by my teenager. 😂 I followed your recipe and “Spatchcocked” the 21lb turkey. Set the smoker recipe to P1: 1 hour 200, P2: 3 hours 275 and P3: 350-1 hour. BEST TURKEY EVER. It was very just, had the ever so light smoke ring and so full of flavor. I basted it with apple juice mixed with melted butter. Did I say it was the BEST TURKEY EVER?!?!?! There was none left! 8 people….. none left. I’ve never smoked anything. This smoker, your instructions and a few tweaks, “Spatchcock”, and I am famous! 🤭🤭🤭 So, thanks! I’ve definitely subscribed and will continue to watch! Happy Smok’n!! 🤭

So, if we use the 15-20lb per minute process, I will still wait until the breast temp to hit 165, then crank the pit up to 350, correct?

    @paulneale988 that’s a negative on the 165. You want to pull your turkey out no later than 165. Cranking up the temp at 145-150 is usually what I recommend. Your time frame is pretty spot on though. At 5 hrs you will either be done or very close. Every bird is different though. Start keeping a close eye on IT around the 3 hr mark. It could finish in 4.

    I usually place smoke on the left side of the bottom shelf. The butter was a stick of unsalted butter with a little of the seasoning mixed into it, melted in the microwave.

    I have a few questions for you sir. 1. Why wouldn't you brine your turkey for 12-15 hours beforehand? I've gotten amazing results with this. 2. You don't season under the skin by detaching it from the breast meat, and I just wondered if you've ever tried that before and just don't think it adds to the flavor. 3. I couldn't see a catch can for drippings under your turkey. I'm just curious if you use one to reduce the mess or if you think it somehow messes with the temperature. Lastly, do you fill your water tray to help keep the heat more consistent throughout the smoker? Sorry for all the questions, I'm trying my 2nd turkey next week and I'm just getting as much information as possible.

    Most turkeys are already in a brining solution inside the packaging. Unless you buy a Turkey that is not in a brining solution then it's kind of overkill. Not wrong, but more trouble than it's worth for me. My thought process is that the injection I use will bleed out under the skin. Another step that I dont think is wrong, but not for me on this bird. I don't baste with the drippings, I use unsalted butter instead. I like what it does for the skin. Since I don't use the drippings I let them go into the grease pan. Sometimes I use water in the pan and sometimes not. Water in the pan has never been something that makes a huge difference in my cooks. Also, this was more of a beginner turkey. I wanted it to be very doable for anyone that watched the video, so I avoided too many extra steps. I hope this answers your questions. Let me know if I can help out in any way. I appreciate you watching my video and for commenting. It would be great to have you as a subscriber. Thanks!

I get the breast to 165, let it rest,, and still wind up with dark meat that's not done. Any suggestions for dark meat that's done and not have a breast that qualifies as powder? Would cutting off the leg quarters help? Thanks for the great videos!

    You will increase your chances of a juicy bird if you do. You will also be imparting flavor into the meat.

    That’s odd. I would smoke breast till 165, pull it, lightly cover in foil and let it rest. My dark meat had always been hotter than my breasts. About the only safe way to get those wings up to food safe at around 165 without drying out your breast it would be to put it in your oven at 160 to 170° or if your pit will sit at 165 to 170° and let it sit in there low and slow until the dark meat comes up to temp.
