So, sounds like the consensus is to cook turkey at a higher temp?

I did a practice run on a turkey breast a few weeks ago. I cooked it at a dome temp of about 260-275. It turned out really well but do you all think you get better results but cooking it at about 350? I pulled it at an internal tem p of 165.

I haven't not cooked a turkey on my egg, but here is a general rule I use. If I am doing indirect I go at the same temp I would cook it in an oven. I cook ABT's at 400 because I bake bacon at 400. I haven't tested this for turkey, as I mentioned, but that's just my take on it.

The charcuterie brine I used said to smoke at 200 in the recipe. I don't have the guru adapter for my XL yet and I can't fit a spatchcocked turkey on my large so I may go with what I know and do 450 indirect for a half hour then 350-400 till it hits 160 breast. I have tried chicken wings low and slow and the skin came out rubbery. Gonna soak the great in an ice bath in a 13*9 pan so they are colder than the dark meat so the breast hit 160 and the dark meat hits 180 at the same time.

Smoking a turkey breast this AM (grill is heating up now).
I'm going indirect at 325, cooking approx 45 min for every pound of bird. Should be around 4 hours, or 'till the temp goes around 165.
This my first time smoking a bird (new Egg owner!), so wish me luck!

I like turkey at 350

I've cooked them at 350 to an internal of 160-165 on the breast and had good results. Hope you're cooking a big bird. You'll need some comfort food for Saturday night. Just kidding, but RTR anyway. Looking forward to being there Saturday.

yeah...at 325°, you're looking at closer to 14 min/pound.....not 45.

Think that was a typo unless he has like a five pound bird
