Smoked Turkey Dry Rub & Injection

This Smoked Turkey Recipe mixed with a Dry Rub And Butter Injection is the perfection of combinations for any holiday dinner. 

SMOKED TURKEY RUB INGREDIENTS:

• Sesame Oil

• Ground Pink Himalayan salt

• Fresh Ground Pepper

• All-Purpose seasoning Blend

• Fresh Rosemary

• Fresh Thyme

SMOKED TURKEY BUTTER INJECTION INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Stick of Butter

• 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic

SMOKED TURKEY RECIPE STUFFING:

• Green Onions

• Minced Garlic

• Fresh Rosemary

• Fresh Thyme

• Butter

On the day of smoking remove your OFD Farm turkey from the brine (see previous recipe) and give the turkey a small rinse off.

Place on a tray and pat dry with paper towels.

Rub the whole bird down with Sesame Oil and sprinkle an All Seasoning Salt on the bird (Mine is Johnny’s Season All).

Melt your stick of butter with your minced garlic until it is all liquid.

Inject your bird all over until you are out of butter. Next cut up fresh Rosemary and Thyme to cover your bird. Stuff your bird with minced garlic, green onions, and seasonings.  This will help to keep the inside moist while smoking.

When your smoker is at temp and smoking place your meat in your smoker.  We used apple pellets to smoke but you could use any flavor. Make sure your hopper is full before setting it and walking away.

We set our turkey on the smoker at 7:30 in the morning and it was ready at 5:30pm. You will want to plan about 30-35 minutes per lbs, we had a 18lb. turkey. 

Use a meat thermometer to make sure your turkey reaches an internal temp of 165 before removing to serve!
