Thanksgiving Turkey Smoked AND Fried - Best of Both Worlds!

[@BeforeMoviesSucked]

The Battle for the Soul of Thanksgiving (Smoked vs Deep-Fried) has just reached its only logical armistice...

@@It-b-Blair I live in NY and there’s been several house/ yard fires in my county that fire departments had to fight because amateurs tried to deep fry their Thanksgiving turkey. There must be some success stories for every epic failure, so some northerners definitely do it- it’s just unconventional here

A smoked, deep fried turkey video to start November solidifies why Malcom is that dude! His own ab libs during the cooking is hilarious too! 😂😂

[@therealist2000]

This guy has BEEN that dude for a long time when it comes to BBQ

[@brandonstricker3412]

Thank you, Malcom! Last week when I saw this video I knew I had to try it for my work's potluck today. I've smoked turkeys in the past but have never deep fried them. I made two smok-a-fried turkeys today for the potluck and everyone absolutely loved them. Thanks for the inspiration and keep cookin'!

[@Robalo-2660]

Malcom, you take BBQ to the limit! I've done the brine and the smoke but never have I thought about a deep fry as a finish . I can't stop thinking about this. I'm going to have to try it. I just don't think my wife will trust me with a turkey, I might try a chicken first. Thank you Malcom , you're the man!

[@garywilliams7484]

I did a couple chickens on the smoker two weeks ago for practice. My wife picked up a Turkey for me to smoke this Sunday to perfect. Now he adds a deep fryer to finish the turkey off and I am back and square one.

[@Robalo-2660]

@@garywilliams7484 Lol, I know what you mean! The deep fry finish for such a short time and the extra amount of work to achieve that perfection has my brain in a knot. I guess I'm going to drink more beer till I can convince myself that level of BBQ perfection comes with a price.

[@garywilliams7484]

@@Robalo-2660 I am struggling to justify the added cost just to make the skin a little more crispy. I can add a couple of logs to bump up the heat in my smoker for the last hour and get great skin.

[@wstein70]

@@garywilliams7484 Your right, that is a lot of cost to just get a crispy skin. But like Malcom said, you can reuse that oil. I typically fry a couple of turkeys for family and friends and then I use the oil for the last time on Rivalry Saturday to deep fry Buffalo chickens and have a watch party for all the great college games that day. So I use that oil on at least 3-4 turkeys and a couple of chickens, getting my moneys worth out the oil. And something about a smo-fried turkey sets it apart from a plain ol' smoked turkey.

[@jamestigerlawrence6767]

Malcom--great job as always! Still laughing, though..."Whew--safety Croc ain't working!" 😂

[@Incognitothegreat]

"Popeye's aint got nothing on me y'all!" is my quote of the year. And you are right. Love your food. Love your style. Love your channel.

[@MisplacedAmerican]

I bow to you sir, what an amazing idea! To top it off, I had no idea you could use the probe in the hot oil!!! THANK YOU!

[@charlesmarcus7864]

I trust this man. I've followed a few of his recipes and I was the hero of the party.

[@cigarnewbie6436]

This right here is some next level turkey. Never thought to smoke it and then fry it. I think this is a game changer.

[@GFYS66]

Let me tell you something Malcolm, I have been watching your videos for a long time now. You have such great recipes and we all know your food tastes good, you can't trust a skinny cook. This video is so great that I tried it yesterday and you know what? My kids didn't like the taste of just plain cooked turkey but when I gave them this, they asked for seconds and wanted more a few hours later. Thank you for your videos and the awesome camera work from the wife. Thank you again

[@djorde7666]

[@magic8192]

I am dong his smoked Turkey from last year right now. He has gone to the next level with this.

[@darrylpugh55]

I always deep fry my turkey for the holidays and it comes out beautiful! This is another way to get even more flavor into that dude, so I'm trying it!

[@Jedidiah_storm]

This is quite literally the best turkey I have ever tasted. Made a trial run version before Thanksgiving and it was the tastiest turkey anyone at dinner had ever had.

[@RyGuy1538]

Did this last year by accident (had a grease fire and had to get the turkey out FAST.) We had the fryer going for the other turkeys and so we just finished mine off in it and it came out incredible. Everyone loved it.

[@michaelconrad421]

Malcolm, buddy... That looks outstanding! I've got a 19 lb bird that I'm going to do on Thanksgiving. I don't have a Treager, so I'm going to try and do it on my offset stick burner, and then drop that baby in the oil. I can't wait!!

[@ovanesovanessian2852]

Malcom, thank you, thank you, thank you. Yesterday I made two turkeys following your recipe including purchasing all the ingredients from your website. Many of my guests said that it was the best turkey that they ever had. I have to admit it was the best that I ever had. It was amazing.

[@gpa7069]

I had issues with my fryer burner this thanksgiving with 2 turkeys to cook. Put the first one in and the oil temp was not recovering. With time running out with family on the way, I fired up my pit and thru the first bird in it to finish. Dropped the second bird in the fryer to get it going. Ended up frying both birds to half way done and finished off in the pit. They came out AWESOME!!! Family said that was my best ones yet. I highly recommend this procedure.

[@marclemar]

I did this as a last result last year. The smoked turkey wasn’t ready my fire just went out on the smoker and everyone was showing up. I panicked and pulled out the electric fryer. Got it up to temp and dropped it. Everyone loved it!
