Traditional Smoked Thanksgiving Turkey
4.5
With a crispy outside and a juicy inside, the best smoked Thanksgiving turkey calls for simple spices and primal wood-fired flavor. Garlic, butter, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper combine to create an herbal rub to maximize flavor while you smoke the meat for 3-4 hours. Make sure to get an early start to begin smoking your Thanksgiving Turkey.
Perfect Pellet Grill Turkey
4.4
Get ready to impress your loved ones this holiday season with the perfect pellet grill turkey. After brining in a solution of water, Traeger rub, sugar, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce overnight, let that bird smoke its way to deliciousness on your outdoor grill while the sides cook in the oven. This pellet smoked turkey is worth getting scrappy over.
Tim Hollingsworth's Mayo Coated Turkey
4.8
Chef Tim Hollingsworth's secret to the most tender turkey? Mayonnaise. Unlike oil and butter, the high-fat coating stays put when he slathers his turkey with it, basting the bird as it cooks and keeping it moist and tender. It also encourages the Maillard reaction, which is a fancy way of saying it turns the turkey a gorgeous deep brown color. (For the best results you will want to start ahead, coat the turkey, and then let it chill in the fridge for at least 12 hours.) Does the coating make the turkey taste like mayonnaise? Nope. All you taste is delicious turkey goodness.
Roasted Spatchcocked Turkey On Pellet Grill
4.8
Kick traditional to the curb with this wood-fired take on turkey. This roasted spatchcock turkey on a pellet grill is given a double dose of flavor with a Traeger rub and an aromatic herb paste, then slow-roasted on your pellet grill for a turkey that's gorgeously golden, tender, and juicy.
Smoked Spatchcock Turkey
5.0
Fresh & simple ingredients together with Traeger wood-fired flavor make this smoked spatchcock turkey stand out from the crowd. Simply spatchcock your bird for quicker cooking & more flavor exposure, cover it in an herb-packed compound butter, and let your grill do the rest.
