This easy smoked turkey recipe is unbelievably flavorful and makes an incredible holiday centerpiece.

Flour Bowl

Remove the neck and innards from the turkey. Preheat your smoker to 325°F.

1

Quarter your apple, oranges, and onions. Make sure to peel the onion.

2

Stuff half of the oranges, apples, and onions into the turkey, followed by all the fresh herbs. Finish by stuffing with the remainder of the apples, oranges, and onions.

3

Using butcher’s twine, tie the legs of the bird together to keep the cavity closed.

4

Add all the spices to a bowl and mix well. Sprinkle just enough over the bird that the top is barely covered.

5

Melt butter in a small dish in the microwave. Add the remaining spices to it and stir well.

6

Take half of the mixture and inject it into the breast and thighs of the bird, saving the other half to use for basting throughout the smoking process.

7

Add the bird to the smoker and cook for 4-5 hours or until the internal temperature reads 165°F.

8

Baste every 30 minutes during the smoking process. Allow the turkey to rest for 1 hour before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
