Smoked Turkey Recipe
Once you try a smoked turkey, you'll never cook turkey any other way.
You want to buy a 10-12lb Turkeys because this size turkey cooks evenly throughout the breast and thighs on the smoker. It takes several days to thaw a 12lb turkey, so you'll need to plan in advance.
Once you have the turkey thawed, it's time for the brine. I brine my turkeys for 24 hours.
Turkey Brine Recipe:
- 2 gallons of tap water
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Molasses
- 1 cup Honey
- 1 ½ cup Salt
- ¼ cup The BBQ Rub www.killerhogs.com/shop.html
- 3-4 Bay Leaves
- Fresh Thyme Bundle
- 1 TBS Whole Peppercorns
In a large stock pot bring 1 gallon of water to a boil and add the brown sugar, molasses, honey, bbq rub, and bay leaves. Once the ingredients have dissolved turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool. I make this the night before and refrigerate until time to brine.
Place the turkey inside a bag and pour in the brine. Add the thyme bundle and peppercorns. Top the turkey off with an additional gallon of water and the entire bird should be covered. Close the bag and lay a bag of ice on top. Let the turkey soak for 24 hours replacing the ice as needed.
The next day remove the turkey from the brine and rinse under cool water. Allow it to drain and pat off any excess water with paper towels. Cut a couple apples in half and stuff in the cavity. I also add onion and celery. This will add mass to the turkey helping it cook even and gives it some additional flavor.
Smoked Turkey Seasoning:
- 1 cup Kosher Salt
- 1 cup Granulated Garlic
- 1 TBS Poultry Seasoning
First spray the outside of the turkey with cooking spray. Apply the seasoning mix to the outside making sure to cover everything; then apply a light layer of The BBQ Rub. www.killerhogs.com/shop.html
The next step is to inject the turkey. You can use a store bought injection like Tony's Creole Butter, but I created my own version.
Smoked Turkey Butter Injection
- 1 stick real butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 TBS Hot Sauce
- 1 tea Granulated Garlic
- 1 tea Cajun Seasoning (I used Louisanna brand)
Melt the butter in a sauce pan and add the chicken broth, hot sauce, garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Whisk the ingredients together and remove from heat once incorporated. It doesn't need to come to a boil.
Let the injection cool and shoot it into the turkey. Hit the breast in 3-4 locations on each side and do the same for the legs and thighs. Before placing the turkey on the smoker, use butcher twine to secure the legs and wings.
Now the turkey is finally ready for the cooker. I smoke turkeys at temps between 275-300 degrees. Higher temps make for a better bird. The outer skin turns a beautiful mahogany color and is almost crispy. For smoke, I use pecan or a fruit wood like cherry. You can over-smoke turkey, so go easy on the wood. Place the turkey on the smoker and set a timer for 1 ½ hours. As long as you maintain temps, there's not much to do, just let it cook.
When the timer goes off, rotate the turkey on the rack to ensure it is cooking evenly on all sides. I never flip the turkey. It stays on the back, breast up, the entire cook. It takes about 3 ½ hours to smoke a 10-12lb turkey but checking the internal temps is key. It has to hit at least 165 in the breast and 175 in the thigh. When you stick the turkey, juices should run out clear. There should be no trace of blood or pink colored liquid. I start checking the internal about the 2 ½ hour mark just to see where it is. At this point if the outside is starting to get dark, I'll lay a piece of aluminum foil over it. The foil acts as a tent and will prevent the skin from browning any further.
Once I see a temp of 165 in the thickest part of the breast and the juices are running clear out of the thigh (175 internal), the turkey is done....Almost....you want to let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. If you go at it too soon with the knife, all of the juices will run out onto your cutting board and you'll have dry turkey. Be patient and let things cool off for a few minutes.
Once you try Smoked Turkey you won't be able to stomach oven cooked bird.

4 years ago was when I discovered this recipe, my girlfriends kids went to their fathers after our Thanksgiving. They told their father that my Turkey was way better than his. The enraged look that their father gives me every year since is priceless. So here I am, for the 4th time to get that glory again.

Love watching these older videos. You’ve come a long way in your video production, Malcolm and Rachelle. Watched all these turkey videos as a refresher. Thank you so much, you’re a blessing. Have a great thanksgiving!
I watch your video every year before Thanksgiving. This recipe has become a big hit and a family tradition. Thank you, Malcolm!
I did my first smoked turkey yesterday 7-27-17 and it was the best turkey I had ever had. My family loved it and told me that whatever I did with this turkey to do it from now on. Even my 3 year old said it was delicious. I followed the recipe to the tee with the exception of the wood. Unfortunately here in the mid west is hard to find oak so I did it with hickory. Thanks so much for your wonderful recipe, from now on you are my go to person for BBQ!
This is my 5th year making my turkey with this recipe. Everyone always compliments the way it comes out. He’s the king of BBQ

Followed this recipe and it came out amazing. I have a Pit Boss Austin XL. I set it to 300 degrees and our 15lb turkey cooked for 3 hours. When it reached 167 degrees I pulled it and let it rest. Everyone loved it! Thanks Malcom! First time doing this. Definitely not my last! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Malcom. I followed this recipe this Thanksgiving, and man I tell you, the turkey came out perfect. I used your injector that I bought and made up a creole butter injection, used your seasonings, injected it and smoked it on my Weber Smokey Mountain and it turned out awesome. It was so tender and moist and full of flavor. It was a big hit this year at the table. Thanks so much!
Made this the past weekend, everyone there said it was the best Turkey they’ve ever had and I agree, it was the best Turkey I’ve ever had. About to show the brother in law what’s up for thanksgiving next year! Thanks man! Love your videos
Followed directions step by step, first time every smoking a Turkey. Got compliments from people cooking turkeys their whole lives, about how this was by far the best turkey they ever had! Thank you!!!
I’ve been using this recipe for 4 years. It’s the best that I’ve found. Juicy, crispy skin and full of flavor throughout the whole bird. Thanks for sharing & Happy Thanksgiving!
I have also followed this 100% twice and now have been told I WILL be doing it again for Thanksgiving this year. Anyone just thinking about trying this.... stop thinking and go for it!!!!!!
Love it. Made it three years in a row. Family eats the whole 12 pounds every year. Safe to say, it's even better than grandma's cooking.
Hello Malcolm, first of all I want to thank you for all these videos that you put out for us guys that are learning to be smokers as yourself I especially love the way you demonstrate everything that you say. Your instructions are very clear and precise, and your video angles are always good for us to see exactly what you're saying. I've learned so much from you in the last year that I feel I owe you something. All I have to give at this time is my kind words and prayer for you and your family. Keep up the good work my friend and thank you very much for all you do for us.
Malcolm - Thank you so much for all you do! I made this yesterday for my family, and immediately i heard omg's, and "this is the best turkey I've ever had." I have learned so much from you and youve helped me prepare outstanding food for my family. I hope you know how appreciated you are. A true gift to all of us! Happy Holidays!
Mr. Reed I salute you. I tried your process and man was it the best thing made for Thanksgiving. Thank you sir!
Old but gold video. Second year following this recipe! And it won’t be my last! Thank you Malcom! Keep doing what you’re doing!👊🏽
I learned this over a year ago from your video and I haven’t strayed away from your receptive much. I’ve cooked around 30 turkeys so far and it’s always killer. Thank you. I’m cooking one now. Happy thanksgiving 2019
Well, I'm back again this year for a refresher course. This is the best smoked turkey we've ever tried. Thank you Malcolm!
Smoked a trial turkey yesterday for thanksgiving using his exact recipe. It turned out amazing. Extremely tender and juicy. Never had one as juicy. I highly recommend using this recipe.

I used your recipe this Thanksgiving. It was a huge hit. My wife kept sneaking pieces off the bird. It was so tender and juicy. I used my Weber Gold. My mother-in-law thought I was crazy to cook a turkey on the grill. But now she wants me to cook the turkey for every holiday and I mean every holiday. Great recipe Malcom. The turkey went so fast I didn't get a chance to take any pictures but I will this Christmas. It has already been told to me that it is a must have dish. Everyone wants to watch me cook this. I told them go to HowToBBQRight Malcom Reed. I did say this turkey was done Killer Hog Style!!!!!! The hardest part was keeping the temperature. Other than that it was super simple. The only thing I did different was I added some flavored butter under the skin over the breast I also cooked it in a roasting pan to protect my bird from the heat. The gravy juice it produced was amazing. A little chicken broth for moisture and some onion, carrots, and celery in the pan caught all the goodness from the turkey. Thanks again for this one. Happy Holidays from Augusta, Georgia.
Last thanksgiving I followed your recipe. The best Turkey ever! this year I'm cooking the same way!😁 thanks for the video
2020 and I’m still using your old videos for advice! Keep up the good work, Man. You’re still awesome.

I experimented with different rib and brisket recipes, but when I followed the instructions from Malcom my freinds and neighbors raved. So, I finally had the opportunity to try smoking a turkey. Went to my go to guide and followed this instruction and Voila! First attempt and it was the best turkey we have ever had. Better than oven (and it now frees that up for other things come Thanksgiving) and better (easier and safer) than frying one. Thank you Malcom for your spot on, great recipes and videos!

Going to smoke my first turkey tomorrow also for thanksgiving! Hoping I don’t screw up either lmao! This guy is the truth! I’m going to follow his steps for sure
I think I am going to use your recipe this year.Thanks!
just did my second smoked turkey from following your directions. First one was amazing, second is cooling now. Smells so good
I tried this recipe this year for Thanksgiving. It is the best turkey we have ever had. Even the day afterwards I was getting complements again. Thank you for sharing.
This man taught me to cook ribs and this year I’m taking on the turkey for thanksgiving. The challenge doesn’t scare me one bit.

This will be my first also! I’m just afraid my 22 lb turkey might be too big!

@@henryalcocer5127, I went w/a 14.5 lb for the first try to see how it comes out. I definitely want to try doing a larger turkey next year.
Family doesn't appreciate the labor of thanksgiving! It starts FOR ME around the Saturday before! With thawing, marinating, chopping.... it's a good 3 days!

That's the truth right there. Its several straight days of preparing the brine,letting it soak,shopping for all your ingredients,cutting up the fruits and veggies to stuff it with,pulling the bird out of the brine to prepare it for the smoker by rubbing it down and injecting it, getting the smoker up to temp, putting the bird on and keeping s watchful eye on it,basting it and covering with foil when it gets to the perfect darkness........its many hours of labor just for others to grab a plate and throw some of your awesome turkey on it and devour it in seconds!

So true bro
I made this for Thanksgiving and now I’m back for Christmas! I appreciate you sharing your fantastic recipes.
I followed this recipe and was asked back to cook again this year. Easy to follow and the best turkey you will ever taste
