Barbequed Turkey
Barbequed Turkey we’ve done turkey in dozens of ways and tonight we wanted to do simple and simply delicious. We had a special friend and neighbor join us for our feast and we all liked different parts of the bird. So, Ken cut it into pieces like you would a chicken.
We slow smoked our turkey for 3 hours at 225 degrees (107c) with Pacific Pellet Mountain Maple and Apple pellets mixed. Then, we grilled our bird for 1 hour at 350 degrees (177c) next to Patti’s traditional Stuffing/Dressing. Patti had lots of plans for leftovers, but this hen turkey was so juicy and tender with a smoky richness that there just weren’t enough leftovers. We may have to make a separate turkey just for the casseroles we love.

A Wood Pellet Grill Recipe
Directions: Barbequed Turkey
Cut the turkey up as if it were a chicken for frying. Apply a nice amount of your rub and lay it out in the smoker. Smoke it for 3 hours at 225 degrees (107c). Then, turn the heat up to 350 degrees (177c) for a hour to finish it off and crisp it up some. The last 30 minutes of cook time add your BBQ sauce so the sauce doesn’t burn. Turn and sauce the other side in 15 minutes.
When the meat reaches an internal temp around 170 degrees (77c) pull it off, cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. U.S.D.A. says 165 degrees (74c) is the safe temperature poultry but I like the way it flakes apart if it cooks a little longer. Keep in mind that the meat will continue cooking for another 5 to 10 degrees after you pull it off the grill. I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps.
Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About Our Recipes
We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Louisiana, Green Mountain, Memphis, Royall, Traeger pellet grills, Char-Griller, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Pacific Living Pizza Oven, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.
The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can even do some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.
Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….
