The twist to my turkey recipe is that we will be smoking a turkey out on the grill! This is how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey. Yes, we don't use ovens around here to roast a turkey, we cook a turkey out on the grill, low and slow, smoking the turkey with apple wood, usually about a 3-hour to 4 hour cook time, and smoking the turkey for about the first 2 hours.

How to cook the perfect turkey

Remember that the secret to cooking that perfect Thanksgiving Turkey dinner is to start with a turkey that is not frozen, but rather refrigerated only. So I only buy young fresh turkeys from places like Whole Foods or The Fresh Basket, or any butcher shop that sells them fresh.

Brining a turkey and dry aging a Thanksgiving turkey:

This is the best turkey brine recipe hands down ever. The other part of your strategy is to brine the turkey for 24 hours in a saltwater and flavor profile solution. Turkey brining helps infuse moisture and flavor profile into the center of the turkey meat and helps keep that moisture in the meat. This results in a perfect turkey, the moistest and juicy turkey you have ever eaten.

The saltwater and sugar brine solution also has other herbs and spices to impart a flavor profile to the otherwise bland turkey meat. This brining turkey procedure is the most important step to creating the perfect juicy and tender turkey. Then you dry age the turkey in the fridge for another 24 hours, which helps you get that crispy skin.

On to smoking the turkey:

Here's how to smoke a turkey. I then show you how to baste the nearly perfect turkey with my special herb-roasted garlic butter and spices to spread all over the bird before putting it on the grill outside at about 325 degrees or more at the surface of the grill grate.
