pecan is good, i always add just a hint of cherry for color

Usially fruit wood is best for poultry because it is milder in flavor. Careful you don't add to much smoke or you may not like what it does with turkey. I would keep it very light with a small amount of chips spread throughout the lump.

Poultry takes smoke flavor very easily so go mild with a fruit wood like apple or cherry. If you use hickory or oak, tread very very lightly with the smoke.
I just did my Apple Wood Smoked Turkey Breast last weekend and it was scrumptious!

Im with Fishless, pecan with poultry is a fav. at my house. Chicken and turkey can really suck up the smoke, go a little easy. Good luck.
