Juicy, Flavorful Smoked Turkey Method

[@benharrison5816]

After following Malcom's vids for a few years I'm now the BBQ guy in the family. Thanksgiving, Xmas, whatever, I'm always asked to make something. It can be a bit exhausting tbh, but in the end, when I finally get to sit down with my turkey leg or whatever, it's worth it.

[@WhitewolfZ11]

Same here 😂

[@Cwrigh25]

Brother I feel you on that. I have been told I'm not allowed at family reunions if I don't bring brisket with me lol.

[@thetexasranger]

Same here. I'm the go to smoke BBQ specialist in my family and friends. All thanks to Malcolm 👍

[@tcizzi]

Same here. My brined, injected and smoked holiday turkey is now legendary. Thanks Malcolm.

[@alanedrinn233]

Same! Dude has changed lives.

[@RealRoz]

I rarely write comments, but after this I have to. I have been following Malcom for years. I did one of his original smoked turkey recipes. That was about 5 years ago now. I always hated turkey but when I followed his instructions, I fell in love with turkey. This is pretty close to the original that he had on his channel. Malcom opened my eyes to the way meat is suppose to be done. Unlike the leather from my childhood, sorry mom still love you lol, Malcomes recipes are juicy and full of flavor. Thank your for what you do. I cant tell you how happy I was when I saw Killer Hogs BBQ rub in Walmart. When I saw that, I knew you have achieved the success you deserve. Once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.

[@Daykiss]

Wow!That's amazing I been watching him for a long time also I had no idea they have his seasoning in Walmart AMAZING!Great job learning

[@barryross89]

Malcom went and changed the game brining a bird in sweet tea!!

[@tomwilson4353]

Malcolm, I've been following this channel for years and I don't think you have ever done a bad Thanksgiving turkey recipe. I've followed your recipes every year for smoked turkey. This one may be the best.

[@partyranger111]

I also rarely write comments. I have watched Malcolm for about 10 years. My son is now 9 and I have watched longer than he has been alive. I have only ever done the recipe from the 11 year old video. This is the first time I am trying this recipe. I will have a large boxing day party tomorrow and smoking 4 birds. Merry Christmas to Malcolm and the crew Cheers legend from Brisbane Australia

[@michaelriddell2881]

Protect this man at all costs! Thanks for what you do Malcolm!

[@seanfattireguythomas2994]

I always smoke my Turkey breast down I put herbs and 2 sticks of butter in the cavity I sit a catch pan under the rack to gather the drippings and make smoked gravy with it its out of this world the best

[@zakelwe]

That sounds an excellent idea, the fluids coming off always should be got for the gravy, as well as using the giblets as well if present to make the stock. I do like red wine added as well, but of course that is an option.

[@danshort10]

@@zakelwewe can’t keep red wine around long enough on thanksgiving to have any for the gravy 😂

[@jddavisnyc]

Adding the sticks of butter is a great idea! I also smoke it breast down since the juices flow into the breast keeping it moist and not drying out!! The bad thing is the turkey looks beat up and bruised so I always carve it up before setting it out on the table so no one gets to see! lol. Everyone loves how it tastes though which is the most important thing!

[@MrJKellerLewis]

I did this recipe on my Kamado Joe and it was amazing. My aunt made the exact sound Malcolm did when he tasted it. Now I’m the turkey man every thanksgiving

[@MrJKellerLewis]

I forgot to mention it was juicier than any deep fried turkey

[@adamarcher5871]

Followed this and the family said it was the best turkey I have ever made. Thanks Mr. Reed. I enjoy your videos and your brine and poultry seasoning was legitimately the best I’ve had. The skin was perfection!!!

[@Moo_Snuckle25]

N ice place Malcom!!!! I've been watching you for years. When I first started smoking meat, you were my go to for knowledge. Glad to see your youtube career is going so well. Much love from Texas brother!!!!!!

[@andycohen9235]

Bravo, finally someone who knows how to carve a turkey the correct way!!! Good job!!!

[@greggfaw2007]

I used my mini fridge for the dryout , just set it on the wire rack plenty of air circulation, thanks Malcom for the great video

[@BigJParlay79]

How long do you keep it in the fridge for?

[@robqualls588]

Every Year I do the latest Malcolm Turkey recipe, and it's always amazing.

[@raym6415]

I don’t even like Turkey and I still love to watch Malcom cook a Turkey. 💕

[@jordanbrown6202]

Malcom thank you!!!! I used this recipe to make the turkey this year and I am in turkey duty every year now, your recipe is amazing!

[@billtice5057]

Malcom, thank you sir! I just delivered the best Turkey I’ve ever smoked in my life to my family and guests. I have you to thank. Wow, is it moist, flavorful and juicy!!! Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us! 🙌👍

[@toml948]

The turkeys I buy at the store are already brined. But dropping it in a bucket of sweet tea and other non-saline seasonings is worth considering. And stuffing the bird with those ingredients is worth a try, too

[@sudolg123]

I followed this recipe exactly as was discribed in the video and it did not disappoint. Best turkey I ever ate. Nice and moist. I do wonder how it would turn out if I cooked low and slow..... May try that next time.

[@kentusmc0311]

There's no better content when it comes to smoking turkey 🦃 than Malcom

[@abrahamGzzv]

I'm gonna smoke a turkey for the first time (I always use the oven) this weekend at my posada (That's how we call Christmas Parties here in MX). I don't own a pellet smoker, I'll use my Weber grill, wish me luck. Merry Christmas from San Nicolas, NL, Mexico 🎅🏼🎄

[@stephenbuckley9649]

Malcom, you are a brilliant smoke master! You’ve changed our cooking life!

[@JBSmoke1]

Beautiful bird, Malcolm!

[@BPB9973952]

as much as I love my smoker, once that bird comes out of the brine and it's dry, it's going into my turkey fryer. Looks yummy!

[@danshort10]

Do you notice a difference of using a brine vs injection on a fried turkey? I’ve done both but think I get more flavor from the injection

[@BPB9973952]

@@danshort10 I inject after the brine

[@2113rush]

I like him because of his easy going personality, great explanations/tips and he does pretty much the same thing I do. Always good content. Thanks !

[@horizon1054]

Malcom you’ve made every holiday a blast. Following your recipes is a guaranteed success. From brisket, ribs, turkeys & tomahawks had been a grandslam! Just ordered your turkey kit for 2024 thanksgiving 😤

[@ryancinker7497]

Love the video. Thanks Malcom. Going to try this on Thanksgiving. It's on my bucket list to meet you someday, hang out a couple days,and hopefully gain at least 10 lbs eating the best bbq I've ever had. Keep it up!!

[@ericadams8280]

This is going to be a certified classic for sure.

[@ez24seven]

Malcolm, I’ve been using your smoked turkey video from 11 years ago when you still wore glasses. Been with you for the whole ride. This looks like another bang up recipe. Take care and keep them bbq right recipes a coming.

[@robertbernal3180]

Looks pretty delicious. Nice and tender and juicy. Great way of making it. Have an awesome day.

[@dudestoneking]

this is exactly what i was looking for! 🤤

[@hunterzenger232]

I just did this last weekend for a Friendsgiving party. It turned out awesome and was pretty easy. Even made great turkey sandwiches for leftovers

[@tjwilliamson7882]

Did you do the sweet tea? If so, did the bird taste like tea? Also how was the saltiness after brining?

[@nathanmartin9308]

Milo's is no joke, my favorite sweet tea and I'm a Yankee...lol Can't wait to try this!

[@benjii7668]

Malcolm knows his stuff. Surprised he ran 350. Looks awesome!

[@davidmann2988]

Remember he brined for 5 days.

[@benjii7668]

@davidmann2988 it was 48 hrs

[@perryj8850]

I now know how I'm preparing my bird this year!!!

[@Cigano-v9n]

Очень шикарный рецепт. С большим удовольствием Я повторю его. Спасибо Вам большое за Ваш контент. Желаю Вам всего самого наилучшего и больше вкусных рецептов 👍👍👍

[@theathejtheg9834]

7:05 any tips on transporting it? To keep it warm for a couple of hours without getting the skin soft?

[@mflournoy2971]

That's a purrrrrdy bird. TFS.

[@gbell8112]

Perfect smoked turkey clinic

[@mikemurr536]

I can almost taste it when you say, "OH my goodness" Great video, very informative, and I'm trying it this way in a few days. Thanks for all the great videos man!

Instant like on these videos

Can we all appreciate how well Malcom's beard is looking? Way to go big guy!

[@jasonnorris3001]

This what going on my table happy thanksgiving

[@peytonwoodruff1371]

Hi Malcolm, thank you for all the great videos! I have a couple questions. Did you rinse after brining? Also are there any grocery stores that sell your brine mix, or is it only available on line?

[@rreyes2797]

That’s what I want to know as well!

[@RidgeRiders406]

The only place I've found it local to me is Scheels. Very nice to get some short notice if you have one nearby! And this guys sauces and seasonings are on point

[@calraise6460]

Biggest lesson I’ve taken away from his and a lot of other videos is trust the prep and smoker. Always on point.

[@melschevelle]

I love him❤❤I miss the kitchen though. I miss the reality of regular life and cooking.

[@W.Vanderbilt]

Literally looks like a Norman Rockwell Turkey Fantastic job Melcom

[@MrIcupkin]

Been waiting for this!!!

[@theroughdaddy2595]

I hope you get something 😂

[@BobleeBBQandOutdoors]

@ just got one of my target bucks

[@robbergeron3223]

Love all your content Malcom, can you do one on a gas grill? I have a smoker but will be out of town this year and was thinking about trying to do one on a gas grill. Thanks

[@datrumpet5]

It's going to be dry on a gas grill because pellet grills in part moisture from the pellets. You could try if you have room to put a water pan nearby in the grill perhaps or you can just do it in the oven

[@VenomEvsCOD]

Thanks Malcom going to give this ago at Xmas here in the UK!

[@pastmasters9591]

This is exactly how I'm gonna approach Thanksgiving

Damnit… now I gotta watch the whole video…. You got a subscription

[@danshort10]

If you just stumbled onto his channel and you like bbq Christmas just came early for ya

[@SBC-u1g]

This is one of the most delicious looking things I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much for this video. I’ve never brined a bird, so forgive my ignorance but, when brining do you need to keep the bird & brine refrigerated? All the best from across the pond!

[@woe96]

You do. For a bigger turkey I do it outside when it is cold enough

[@SBC-u1g]

@ Thanks! Good idea.

[@yld2rob1]

Thanks so much for this. I need this for Thanksgiving. I am doing two 12lbs turkeys on the pellet grill

[@waltertx.6020]

It looks beautiful and delicious Malcolm 😍😋

[@DouglasRedmann]

Do you put seasoning under the skin? Or inject it?

[@jtopdawg6]

Beautiful bird right there.

[@ajvot71]

Another outstanding recipe!

[@TheKmaydwell6]

Do you recommend rinsing after the brine?

[@Cray2TheZ]

Looks FANTASTIC!

[@stigile]

How would you calculate smoke time for a bigger bird? Do you have an an approximate time per pound? Love your recipes - have been following for years!

[@BearPapa49]

Looks beautiful! Perfection

[@tonyyoung5699]

This year im doing a smoked dry brined turkey using some applewood pellets. Wish me luck i never did a wet brine so ik switching it up this year and hope my family enjoys

[@craigtripp5509]

Good job 51 hours total looking good

[@alanedrinn233]

Malcom, any thoughts on Duck Fat instead of cooking spray?

[@1dhenke]

I've wondered that too. Seems Duck Fat would be great to produce crispy skin.

[@davidmann2988]

Dang Malcolm. The new digs are downtown.

[@Nick-gi6ym]

What a beautiful looking turkey crispy thank you

The more turkey videos the merrier.

[@stevedavidson8802]

I tried ordering your bird Brian I have all your stuff, but Amazon says it’s Kurt currently unavailable. It’s like when I try to buy rubs from EdYy you guys the taxes more and it cost too much to get to California, so any suggestions

[@ericadams8280]

Go to the website, it’s available there.

[@RumandCook]

Great looking bird! 🍻

[@coltonfranklin5193]

Why do I always watch your videos when I’m starving😩

[@gregorypett7266]

I’m doing smoked turkey first time on charcoal smoker any tips?

[@davidmann2988]

Buy a pellet grill

[@alzawalich9829]

Just a thought what do you think of putting the spg on the bird when you put it back in the fridge to dry to give it a dry brine also

[@WFCoolerChicken]

That’s a good looking bird!

[@Gordo0361]

What pellets were used in for this cook?

[@garryhammond3117]

Excellent bird Sir... - Cheers!

[@elliotrice17]

he is the best

[@jmaros15]

I'm totally inspired, well done. 👍🏆

[@Amocoru]

I think I'll do this and then inject it. I've followed your classic recipe for years now and my family and any guests are crazy about it. One of the few meats I swear by injection.

[@Ryan_WM]

How long do you leave the turkey in the fridge to dry after taking it out of the brine?

[@may2trey983]

Should I rinse the turkey after brining to remove excess salt?

[@emoryandrewclay]

Malcolm I have been following your recipes for years. It’s time for a new smoker. I am looking for charcoal smoker. I have narrowed it down to an Oklahoma Joe Barrel smoker or a vertical off set smoker. Would you recommend I go with one of these or another style smoker?

[@adambragdon1490]

In your opinion does it add much to the turkey to inject it along with brining it? Or does it make much difference.

[@DouglasRedmann]

Do recommend rinsing the turkey after brining

[@jacobalderman105]

Can’t wait to make it !

[@chad-hv7pg]

Do you recommend injecting it as well

[@delsurf71]

Great video. Could you do another smoke of Kevin’s monster breast? I know you did a Texas cook a couple years ago. I plan on brining and seasoning this year. Only have a couple weeks to learn. Thanks.

[@ericgtz66]

Can we also inject it and if so, would you inject it after you pull it from the refrigerator?

[@saxon.ad410]

This looks great and I'd love to try this back here in the UK,only problem is I cannot source any sweet tea and it seems I will have to make some.Could some one point me to a good recipe to make some please.thanks in advance.

[@iggy9907]

Water, tea leaves, and sugar. Good luck

[@Niagra2011]

Looks Amazing!!!

[@mer2705]

I got a bottle of your bird brine last week. Going to do this exactly, but use Traeger turkey blend pellets

[@BIGLERisBETTER]

Would the results be similar on the BGE?
