I can now add Smoked Turkey to the list...
« on: November 28, 2014, 10:25:04 AM »
I was sick with the Flu last week so I missed the small Turkeys when they went on sale at Kroger.  Wednesday I went to another store and we found them for a good price.

Ended up with a 12 pounder. I thawed it out overnight in a ceramic stew pot.  I did some research and decided to Spatchcock the bird.

I cut out the back and cut along the sides of the breast bone. I injected the turkey with Creole Butter and Rubbed it with Weber KC barbecue rub


I let the turkey rest at room temperature while I got my fire going.  I banked my coals put on some Pecan wood,  then some more coals to get the heat high enough.

Here are a few more pics



Final pic & plated pic! The turkey was done in 3hrs.



(The turkey was already in my mouth! )

Looks great.  Might have to try spatchcocking a turkey sometime.  I can see it works great.  Butter Creole is one of my favorites to inject with.
Platinum Performer Kettle (In Blue), OTG (In Blue)
Genesis Gasser (In Blue), Smokey Joe (Uline Lime)
Looking to buy (18.5 blue or brownie and blue lantern)

I really did 604! When I run out I'm going to make my own. Melt down a pound of Butter, add a cup of a Creole seasoning like Slap Ya Mama, Tony Chachere's,  etc... Bottle it up! :D
