QUICK HELP WITH A TURKEY

[fishinman89]

Been smoking a whole turkey for the past 5 and half hours and the breast temp is only 150*!!! I figured I have enough smoke flavor in it by now so my question is, how long should I put I put it in the oven and at what temp to get it to 170*? Please help

I would put oven at 350, that will crisp the skin also.  As far as time I would just keep an eye on it and go by temp

I dont think you will have to cook that turkey too much longer.  I would keep cooking it until it reaches a temp of 165-170.  i would put it in the oven at 325 and cook it until it reaches that range.  This may also help to crisp up the skin too.

What Santa said...but you could just crank up the smoker temp and don't add any more smoke....

Good luck.  I'm doing a turkey next weekend and one on Thanksgiving....trying to decide whether to use the WSM or the MES.

Thank you so much.  I put it on a pan and stuck in at 350.  I covered it with foil, should I have done that?

Leave off the foil...you want that skin to crisp up and turn a nice golden brown....

The turkey turned out amazing!! Absolutly love the slaughterhouse brine recipe and it turned out great using hickory wood.  Thanks again for the help!
