For all those who are talking about the temp you see on the thermapen: that shot was just supposed to show that I was checking temperature. The probe was only about 1/2” deep so it was much hotter than the lowest temp. Probing to the middle of the breast, the temp was 164° when it was removed.

@michaelchenevert3363 3 года назад

Hi Jeremy, what type of wood did you use? Would you recommend a chunk of cherry wood mix in to get the deeper patina on the turkey?

@ocrun6765 3 года назад

Almost as good as your Waygu hamburger video. I like to pull my turkey at 197F too (usually say: "nailed it" like Raichlan because editing isn't fake) and then let it come up to temp that last 10 or 20 degrees wrapped in towels inside a Styrofoam ice chest (the towels help absorb all those juices and you can wring them out over the potatoes later). Did you also brine it but not include that footage? When you let it rest did you wrap it or just leave it sitting on the counter for 30 minutes?

Same method for bone-in breast?

@matthewfunk6658 3 года назад

Man, I've watched a lot of turkey vids and this one is the best. 1. Simple clear instruction 2. Pleasing setting/lighting

@enriqueparedespinel1694 3 года назад

I started BBQ hobby with my brother in January, we lucky found Jeremy's channel and we have learned the most out of him than all the other channels. Even Jeremy might say that Frankling is a BBQ genius but Mad scientist BBQ is the best channel to learn how to BBQ right. Thanks a lot Jeremy. PS, would have been really cool if Randy had appeared in the hunting trip.

@auroramike71 3 года назад

I appreciate the "why" as much as the "how", thank you.

This is honestly one of the best cooking channels on YT. I watch them all now. Learning a lot. He's like Alton Brown. Tells you the why and the science. Love it.

@rickzurlo3480 3 года назад

Just got into the smoking game. Bought my first cheap chargriller off set smoker about a month ago and have used it every weekend since, honing my skills. I found your videos, which have helped me tremendously. Did a brisket last week after your videos gave me the confidence to say "I can do that". It came out, ok. Anyway this is pretty much the video i have been waiting for, in terms of production and editing. Your videos are super educational, but now with the close ups, good lighting, and clearly an upgrade in equipment, it is that much more enjoyable to watch. Thanks, and keep them coming. *cough* tri-tip next

@Bajodie5 3 года назад

I want to thank you for making these videos. I’ve recently picked up this great hobby as a fellow Meat market owner I CANNOT STOP smoking meats every weekend thanks to you brother.

@ricksanders2687 2 года назад

Always love you videos because they’re well thought out. Lots of good information that’s simple to follow. I would appreciate a little more detail on how to make the herb butter you poured on at the last. What a great hack(trick)! I could use the details because that’s what I’m doing next turkey! I don’t want to mess the finishing touch up.

@craigchatterton4164 Год назад

Just did our first smoked turkey ever on our Traeger this year. We followed your instructions to a T. The BEST turkey we've ever had! Wow, very impressed (I'm writing as I'm eating lol). Thank you for the excellent instructions.

@jpwilliams6926 Год назад

Amazed at how fast you get it done. I've done this for years and it takes all night for me most of the time (of course that includes the initial fire building, etc), often times we do a 20lb bird. Your videos have really helped my son and I up our game. Keep up the good work..

@khedger89 3 года назад

@suckfuldodger Год назад

Kia Ora, I did your turkey recipe this year. I've been threatening my family with a turkey experiment for 4 years and they've always been very very anti. I got into smoking meat about around 7 years ago and usually do something ornate for Christmas. Your recipe worked out amazingly, it was so tender, perfect flavours with the chipotle. Didn't use adobo as it's very very expensive here in New Zealand. Used chilli and cayenne instead. My brother-in-law, who was the most negative about turkey, let out an involuntary grunt of pleasure upon his first bite. He had seconds and thirds, everyone loved it and several people said it was the best turkey they'd ever had. So, thank you very much.

@mooneysonthemove283 3 года назад

You have great teaching skills and your bbq skills are obviously phenomenal. Been sharing your videos, lately, with smoking newbies I know. I could watch your videos all day.

@davepenn9181 3 года назад

I do mine pretty much the same, but I brine them first. It makes for a really moist bird that cooks a bit faster. And I put a couple of sprigs of rosemary or sage in the cavity.

@1ronhall 2 года назад

Jeremy, just watched your Thanksgiving turkey video (2020) again, and you do a fantastic job articulating the finer points to get the desired bbq results. I will follow your techniques for our 2021 bird! All the very best to you, Sir!!

@erikdahl3171 Год назад

Finally got clearance to smoke the turkey this year. I smoke the prime rib every year for Christmas but everyone seems to be against me smoking the turkey. I do make a great one in the oven, but have made some awesome turkey breasts on the smoker as well. Thanks for the video. Will go traditional on my seasoning and brine, just to make sure no one is taken off guard.

@derekjones4086 7 месяцев назад

@haroldskeete8754 Год назад

I smoked two turkeys for Thanksgiving using this method. I used different seasoning, but they still stole the show! My family destroyed them! Great taste, crispy skin! I will say, though, if I had to do it over again, I would take them out a little sooner. I used a pellet smoker, and like you said, they cooked faster. A little faster than I expected that said, everyone loved it! The butter on the breast was a great tip! Thanks!

@kyrbjorgum4683 Год назад

Hey Jeremy, not sure if it was mentioned already, but you can french your turkey too with the herb butter before smoking in addition to injecting. Then you still get the herb butter against the meat without burning your herbs while cooking.

@allentracy5794 Год назад

Great video, love the herb butter idea. I've had great results dry brining ahead of time.

@jcquan17 2 года назад

I had to come back to drop some praise. I tried pretty much exactly this for Thanksgiving this year and it came out amazing! The only thing I added was brining overnight. Thank you so much for your great and informative videos!

@ucfkid67 2 года назад

What temps did you pull it? Does it matter what temp for white meat vs dark meat?

@jcquan17 2 года назад

@@ucfkid67 sorry for the late reply. The breast was right at 161°F. The thighs were at 180°F. The temps do matter. The thighs will naturally cook faster but they have more moisture. So we have to mainly go by the breast. We don't want to undercook the breast so 160°F is the minimum.

@goldninja5923 Год назад

Since you brined it overnight, did you still salt it before putting on the smoker?

@CleveDawgPound 3 года назад

I like to brine with herbs in the brine. Turned out great at thanksgiving. Didn’t need injecting and didn’t need herb butter. I would like to try this method as brining is kind of a pain.

If you have an infra red fryer one of the best turkey's I've ever smoked (and the only way I've cooked them since) was smoked for about 4 hours at 225 and then finished off in the fryer for about 45 mins (14-16lbs usually) absolutely bomb turkey. Super juicy.

@timothyferguson3014 Год назад

I needed that tip when you said cut out the whole Brest first and then cut the other way against the grain. I definitely agree that cutting the old traditional way messes up the integrity of the breast.

Absolutely love your informative style. I'm curious to know if you would consider putting the turkey in a brine and spatchcocking the bird (removing the backbone and flattening the bird). Thinking that since it works for roasting in the oven it could work well in the smoker.

I like the butter idea 💡

@tonytsquared5576 Год назад

I know this is 2 years old but I needed a refresher. Like riding my motorcycle I take a motorcycle safety course every three or four years to get me back in line with good practices. I am not a chipotle fan. I do a herbed brine soaking 1 hour per pound. I like smaller birds about 12 to 14 pounds. I only inject butter and put a stick inside the cavity during the smoking process. I will separate the skin from the breast and put a rosemary butter on one side and a sage butter on the other. I salt and white pepper the outside of the bird after it has been patted dry. I also cook at 220 on an offset smoker. I use hickory or Apple wood. If I use apple the turkey is also stuffed with apple wedges that are coated in cinnamon. The cinnamon has little to no affect to the turkey.

@estevancamargo8107 3 года назад

@xFatCommandox Год назад

I smoked a turkey last year, and I ended up spatchcocking the carcass before I smoked it. It seemed to allow the turkey to cook a little faster and more evenly than just leaving it whole.
