re: School me on smoking and brining a turkey UPDATED W/ PICS

I've been meaning to post my results but this past week has been pretty hectic. I decided against brining this time, but I will do it next time just to see how the results compare.
First, make a bloody mary.
Second, inject it, rub it, stuff it (lightly as OTIS mentioned above)
This is the same thing that I stuffed it with, and about the same amount
To the smoker! Smoked with hickory and cherry wood until the deepest part of the breast read 160.
Covered with foil for 30 minutes and the final product looks like this...
Deboned the whole thing and made stock with the carcass, innards, and drippings from the smoker. Vacuum packed most of the meat and froze it. It will make excellent gumbo and turkey salad in the future. Thanks to everyone who lent me advice![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

Great looking bird. I could eat smoked turkey every week and not get tired of it.

Did you pull it off the smoker at 160 or just covered on the smoker. Might be a dumb question but I want to try this soon. I desperately want to smoke a bird.

Looks great, I'm making a turkey & sausage gumbo today with a smoked turkey that looks similar to yours. Contemplating whether or not I want to add okra this time

One question, how did you manage to not devour the whole thing in one day? I wouldn't have had much left to freeze.

I want the wings very badly.
