Smokey Turkey y’all. Merry Christmas! #food

This is a delicious Turkey we smoked last Christmas. We first brined the turkey in a solution of ice cold salt water, mixed with garlic, brown sugar and honey, soak for at least 4 hours up to overnight, then rinsed it off and added lemon, garlic and herbs inside, and started smoking it early in the day. We smoked in an electric smoker for about 7 to 8 hours until the temp in the thickest part of the thighs read 160 or higher. Don’t go too much higher or it dries out. 

I will be doing smoked turkey pieces tomorrow, and finishing them on the grill with BBQ sauce. It’s my favorite way to make it, I also always make a traditional turkey in the oven, with butter and garlic and herbs.

I will post all my Thanksgiving food from past Delishytown posts, in case anyone needs ideas for sides and such tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving Tumblrs! I know this country is wonderful because I have so many wonderful friends and family here. Stay strong in this very difficult time where we now have Nazis being appointed positions in the White House. What the absolute hell? This is not normal. These past 2 weeks have been so hard, watching all of this nonsense. Hoping for a Christmas Miracle.
