So I followed this recipe almost exactly last week for thanksgiving and the turkey was absolutely juicy and the best turkey I've ever had! You were not lying about that seasoning I bought it and it's amazing! My sister even used the seasoning to make mashed potatoes and it was the best mashed potatoes I've ever had no exaggeration! My biggest problem was getting the fire going and keeping it at 250-300. I didn't have a slow and sear so I tried the snake method with oak lump charcoal. I couldn't get the fire to start granted I live in Ohio where it's obviously much colder than Texas and I haven't grilled in a long time. When I finally got the grill going it was too hot so I took the turkey out and took some charcoal out. I managed to keep the temperature at 300 for the remaining time before it was like 400 degrees. I ended up using apple wood chunks too. I kept checking the turkey temperature and I almost dried it out cause my meat thermometer kept reading lower than what the turkey was. Overall my family said the turkey was amazing and you could taste and smell the smoky flavor from the grill, wood chunks etc. Deff making this turkey recipe for Christmas this year. What's the best way to get the fire going with lump charcoal and keeping the temperature low cause that was deff my biggest problem. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!

That seasoning really is great on everything. I absolutely love it on mashed potatoes. Not sure how you started your fire but I would take about 8 pieces and light them in a chimney first. Once they're lit I'd pour them on the unlit lump and wait for them to catch.

You can actually not cut that tail off, but rather cut a hole in it and after you are done stuffing the turkey you can push the hind legs into the hole and then you don't have to use that plastic thing. Also, it will hold some of the butter that comes down or the juices that come down into the cavity of the turkey a bit longer for flavor or moisture.

@CentralTexasGrilling3 жыл бұрын
Hope you and yours have a great Thanksgiving too Joe! I would guess one fo two things could've happened. One, since the turkey was a little on the larger size it takes longer to cook. That means the outside (skin) is going to be exposed to the smoke longer while the inside is still trying to cook. Secondly, you may haveb been running a "dirty fire". Not sure how your fire was burning, but was there a lot of smoke coming out? What about the wood you used? Was the wood you used aged (dry, not green)? I'm going to lean a little more to the first guess. That usually happen when cooking a larger bird.

I showed it in the video, it's the Tony Chachere's Creole Butter.

I love the creole injection too! I like to brine too..recombination on brine recipe?

Honestly, I would buy a brine package from Kosmos Q. A good basic brine I would use is Distilled Water 2 Gallons, Kosher Salt 1 1/2 Cups, Light Brown Sugar 1 Cup, and a handful of peppercorns. From there, you can add anything else you'd like.

I have a frozen turkey from 2018. will it still be good to use this year ?

Honestly, I don't know. I personally wouldn't use it just to be on the safe side.

It’s called “It’s Incredible”. You can find it on their website at www.heavenmadeproducts.com. The “S” at the end of “products” may be left off but you can try both ways. It’s my absolutely favoring seasonings around.
