Want a JUICY Thanksgiving Turkey? 🦃 This smoked bird don’t miss.💨 Get my recipe below ⬇️ or on uncledibbz.com [Link in Bio] Ingredients • Turkey: 12-15 lbs whole turkey, thawed • 1 bag of Uncle Dibbz Top of the Line Brine • 8 quarts cold water • Ice (for brining container) • Seasoning and Aromatics: • Uncle Dibbz Durtty Bird Rub • 1 onion, quartered (optional, for inside the turkey) • 1 head of garlic, halved crosswise (optional) • 1 lemon, halved (optional) • Basting Butter: • 1 cup unsalted butter • Fresh herbs: parsley, garlic, thyme, sage, and rosemary Instructions 1. Brine the Turkey (12-24 hours) • In a large, food-safe container, pour 8 quarts of cold water and add Uncle Dibbz Top of the Line Brine, stirring to dissolve. • Place the turkey breast-side first into the brine, ensuring it’s fully submerged. Add ice on top, cover with a lid, and refrigerate for 12-24 hours. 2. Prepare the Turkey • After brining, remove the turkey and rinse well under cold water to remove excess brine. Pat the turkey completely dry with paper towels. • Season both the inside and outside of the turkey with a light coating of Uncle Dibbz Durtty Bird Rub. • Optional: Place aromatics (onion, garlic, and lemon) inside the turkey cavity for extra flavor. • Truss the turkey legs with cooking twine and tuck the wings under the body to promote even cooking. 3. Smoke the Turkey • Preheat your @Traeger Grills Ironwood XL smoker to 225°F. • Place the turkey directly on the grill, breast side up, and smoke for 2 hours at 225°F to allow the turkey to absorb a deep, smoky flavor. 4. Increase the Heat and Begin Basting • After 2 hours, increase the smoker’s temperature to 325°F to continue cooking. • In the final hour of smoking, place a heat-safe bowl with unsalted butter and herbs (parsley, garlic, thyme, sage, and rosemary) in the smoker to melt. • Baste the turkey every 15 minutes with the melted herb butter using a food-safe brush for a golden, crispy skin. 5. Finish Cooking and Rest • Continue smoking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the breast and 175°F in the thigh. • Once the turkey reaches temperature, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This resting period ensures the juices redistribute. 6. Garnish and Serve • Place the turkey on a serving platter and garnish with fresh orange slices and herbs like rosemary or thyme for a festive look. #ThanksgivingDinner #SmokedTurkey #HolidayFeast #TurkeyDay #FoodieLife #BBQCommunity #ThanksgivingRecipes #TraegerGrills #HolidayCooking #TurkeyTime #htxfoodie #Houston #ThanksgivingPrep #BBQLovers #SmokedMeat #HolidayVibes #Foodie #HomeCooked #HolidaySeason #Feast #Flavorful #UncleDibbz #ThatsGoodShawty #Fyp #Foryou #Viral
