smoking turkey question

[jbfromtennessee]

here is what i want to do. smoke my turkey in my mes at 250 then finish it up in the oven to get the skin crispy. what i need to know is at what IT do i need to remove from the smoker and at what oven temp do i need to use to crisp it up. if it makes a difference i have spatchcocked this bird... any help would be appreciated.

Pull when the IT of the breast is 160. I'm cooking a spatchcocked turkey on the weber charcoal at 325-340. At that temp, I expect the skin will be pretty crispy. Do not foil cover the bird afterwards or the skin will soften up. Not sure what temp the oven would need to be in order to crispyize the skin. Hopefully someone with such experience will chime in shortly.

I would pull the bird when the breast is 145.
Then put it in a 375 degree oven until it hits 157.
Then in a short 15 minute rest the carryover cooking will bring it up to 165.
Good luck!

I agree with smokinal's method..breast should not finish after rest at more then 160-165 max
