Ingredients: Elevate the Flavor Profile
Optional: Stone Cold Meats Brine Kit
- 1 Whole Amish Turkey
- 1/2 cup Stone Cold Meat Pork & Poultry and/or Bayou Pachanga
- 1 Family Sized Stone Cold Meats Dressing (Savory Herb or Pachanga Cornbread)
- Duck Fat Cooking Spray
Cooking Instructions: A Symphony of Aromas
- IF Brining: See Stone Cold Meats Brining Preparation.
- Bring the meat to room temperature by removing it from the refrigerator at least an hour before cooking.
- Preheat the smoker to 250°F. Load the smoker with apple wood.
- Coat a large disposable aluminum pan with cooking spray. Place the turkey in the pan and tuck the wings under the body
- Stuff the cavity of the turkey with our Savory Herb Dressing or Pachanga Cornbread Dressing.
- Spray the entire bird with duck fat cooking spray and cover with Stone Cold Meats seasoning all over the surface of the turkey.
- Place the turkey in the smoker. Cook for 5-6 hours, basting with chicken broth every 30-45 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F. If you brine your turkey, you don’t need to baste it. Refill the wood chips as needed.
- If the turkey starts to get too dark, cover it with foil.
- Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes then transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with herbs if desired, then serve.
It pairs GREAT with Stone Cold Meats House Made Turkey Gravy or Orange Bourbon Cranberry Sauce!
