Smoked Turkey

As a test for Thanksgiving I smoked a turkey using the directions on www.amazingribs.com.  We invited several friends over and had Thanksgiving in September.

The prepped bird has savory bits inside, not stuffed tight, wet rub under the skin and skin dusted with salt. 

Collection of fruits, veggies, turkey innards, and savory bits, all stewing for the duration. 

The smoker starting to crank up the smoke, higher temp than normal per Amazing Ribs recipe.  I smoked a breast plus the whole bird. 

Finished product looked good and according to the gang eating it, was the best turkey they had ever had.  So now I'm on the hot seat for making the big bird on Thanksgiving Day.
