Turkey not just for Thanksgiving

So funny story. Our hospital gives everyone a turkey for thanksgiving. A lot of the nurses said they didn’t know what to do with a whole turkey and I offered to cook them for them. But they just didn’t want to fool with it so after the week of turkey handout I got 8 of them. 

I’ve fried one. And usually spatchcock them. But tied this one up to just try something different. 

This was turkey number 5 and it was good. Brined overnight and smoked at 275 until 160 breast. Spritzed with butter and tallow.

    Wow, look at the skin! Way back when some local Chinese BBQ places would cook a turkey for you for a small fee, miss those days!

    Super jealous of your freeze space... this time of year turkey is hard to find, for some strange reason a chain has stockpile of frozen turkey on sale this week for 99 cents/lb, I wanted to stock a few but settled for one only, due to lack of freezer storage :frowning:
