Everything You Need to Know About a Turkey: A Must-Save Video! 🦃

✨Packed with buttery, herby, and garlicky flavor under the skin and seasoned to perfection with Right Way BBQ rubs. Here’s how to make it AND prepare like a pro:👇🔥
Ingredients:
14-pound turkey (fully defrosted)
3 sticks of butter (softened)
2 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
2 tbsp fresh sage (chopped)
2 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tbsp Right Way BBQ Ultimate Steak Rub
Right Way BBQ Midnight Kick Rub (for the outside)
Steps to Cook the Perfect Turkey:1️⃣ Defrost the turkey:
Refrigerator: Allow 24 hours for every 4-5 pounds (3-4 days for a 14-pound bird).
Cold water method: Allow 30 minutes per pound, changing the water every 30 minutes. (About 7 hours for a 14-pound turkey.)
2️⃣ Prepare the butter blend:
Mix softened butter, rosemary, sage, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Ultimate Steak Rub until it’s creamy and fragrant.
3️⃣ Stuff under the skin:
Gently lift the turkey skin and spread the butter mixture underneath, ensuring it’s evenly distributed for maximum moisture and flavor.
4️⃣ Season the outside:
Rub the entire outside of the turkey with Midnight Kick Rub to add a bold, spicy crust.
5️⃣ Smoke it:
Set the smoker to 275°F and cook for 30 minutes per pound (approximately 7 hours for a 14-pound bird). Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F in the thickest part of the breast and thigh.
6️⃣ Rest:
Allow the turkey to rest for 30 minutes before carving. This ensures the juices redistribute and the turkey stays moist.
Pro Tips for Thanksgiving Success: ✅ How much turkey do you need?
Plan 1 to 1.5 pounds per person (uncooked weight). For 10 guests, a 12-15 pound turkey is perfect.
✅ Thawing tips:
Refrigerator thawing: Defrost in the fridge over several days—24 hours for every 4-5 pounds.
Cold water thawing: Submerge the turkey (in its original wrapper) in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. Allow 30 minutes per pound for this method.
✅ Rest is key:
After smoking, let the turkey rest for 30 minutes before carving to lock in the juices.
✅ Prep your tools:
A sharp carving knife and cutting board.
Meat thermometer for checking internal temp.
Roasting pan or drip tray to catch the flavorful juices.
🔥 Bonus Tip: Smoke the turkey a day ahead and gently reheat—it gives you more time to focus on sides and family on the big day. #rightwaybbq #dalstrong @dalstrong @greenmountaingrills
