The PERFECT TURKEY on a Traeger Pellet Grill | Holiday Recipes

[@ItsRyanTurley]

‘Thanksgiving on a Budget’ vid just dropped! Thank you for all the support! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5OYlpJ_fceYrqs

[@lynnpai4191]

We made this smoked turkey on our Traeger grill yesterday. It came out so amazing! However, my husband adjusted the temp and started low and slow at 200 for an hour to get a good smoke and raised it to 375. It took 4 hours for a 14 lb turkey but it crisped up beautifully and had incredible flavor. I think the brine, the flavor injection, and the rub are so important to the result. We are not big turkey fans and this came out so delicious that we will be making this again and again. Thank you so much!!

[@ItsRyanTurley]

Love this Lynn! Your husband knows what he’s doing! I do a low and slow then crank the heat on my whole chickens! I tried to keep the Turkey recipe simple since there is always so much to do on Thanksgiving! Really appreciate you letting me know the results... you gotta check out my prime rib recipe / video next 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIu1lqmDf5mCZpI

[@beatrizsandoval4395]

I really want to try it specially because the Turkeys are very inexpensive right now. If it comes out good I would be ready for next thanksgiving. I have all the ingredients I just need to do it.

Brooooo!!!!! Best turkey I have ever tasted!! Will never make it differently again. I was a thanksgiving hero in my family’s eyes. Thanks!!

Brooo! That’s all that matters, the family hero!! Stoked it turned out for ya. Cheers 🍻

[@chrish3413]

Made and served this today for Thanksgiving. Also smoked the bird at 250 for the first 2 hours then bumped it up to 375 for the last hours. It turned out great and everyone loved it. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.

This turkey is amazing. We had it last year and everyone is asking if we are having it again this year. Of course we are. It is the best turkey I've ever had and I'm in my 60s. Fantastic Ryan. Thanks for helping our family continue to make new traditions!!

Thank you SPT 😉 glad you’re having it again the fam will love it! (even if it’s on a Saturday) 😭 wish I could be there to try it, maybe next year!

Do you put your turkey directly on the grill or in a small pan

Thanksgiving 2023 - can confirm this recipe is the best. We almost over cooked it, our 12lbs turkey only took 2.5 hours. It was perfect, literary the best we ever had. Thank you for this great video!!

[@ItsRyanTurley]

Awesome! Great news you saved the bird 😅 Appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼

[@larryvega1195]

Best smoked turkey I have ever made. A family friend that doesn’t like turkey but was famished and had some. He said , “ I don’t even like turkey but this is awesome”. Everyone loved it. No left overs to worry about or even enjoy. It was devoured.

[@ItsRyanTurley]

Thanks for sharing this detail, Larry! So stoked to hear! 😆 ...leftovers are the best tho’ you might have to Round 2 😢

[@i3yucougar23]

Followed this recipe for thanksgiving last year and it was 10/10. Everyone loved it, it was devoured. Did it again on Christmas and since it was -10° out, I just did it in the oven (instead of outdoor Traeger) and it was still amazing. The butter maple injection really is key. Thanks for uploading and sharing

[@ItsRyanTurley]

Wow. Thanks so much for sharing the good vibes and coming back for more! Love to hear you tried both methods. Wishing you and your fam all the best!

[@rapscallion1803]

Wife is working and I am attempting my first turkey! After lots of research I decided on yours and also subscribed. Currently on the brine stage. Having fun so far, thank you

[@ItsRyanTurley]

That’s awesome good luck! You may be in charge of the Turkey every year after this one 😅 this is fool proof I hope your family enjoys! Keep me posted please 🙏🏼

[@AMielke83]

I did this and it was amazing!!!! I’d add photos but not sure how. So I roasted my 15lb bird at 225 for 3 hours, cranked to 300 for 2 hours and finished the last 1 1/2+ hours at 350 to crisp up the skin... after a 20 min rest I did hit the broiler for 5 min to make sure it was nice and crispy... OMG it was soooooo good!! Thanks for the great recipe man!! On a side note is used a 3 to 2 ration of Target Pecan pellets and Maple pellets on my Pit Boss Austin XL

[@ItsRyanTurley]

That’s awesome man, so stoked to hear that! Are usually smoke my spatchcock chicken slow and slow, and then crank the heat like you did. I tried to make this recipe simple and easy to follow with how busy the holidays can be. I commend you for smoking the bird proper! Pellet Smokers Unite! Stay tune for the Perfect prime rib video dropping next week…

Made this last year and it was better than I could have ever imagined! I had to come back and double check the recipe and method before I try it again this year. For people who are cooking this for a lot of people and are nervous they may mess it up, I did a practice run on a whole chicken a few weeks before just to be more comfortable. That was also the best chicken I've ever had.

Hello Ryan, and thank you so much for this video. I have never commented on KZbin, but I have also never had a Thanksgiving dinner where the turkey was the star. This was very special for my family since this was my 1st year hosting my parents, and the 1st time I cooked everything on my own. Unbelievably DELICIOUS. Though I did not have the official rub and made my own, I believe the technique is most important to the result. Thanks again for this exciting holiday culinary contribution, I will be repeating this for Christmas!

Great Video.. I will be doing this for sure! I reccomend that you wash the brine completly off and then dry it before putting it in to the fridge. It removes all the excess salt and sugar from the skin which could later conflict with seasoning

This was the first time we've tried smoking a turkey on the Traeger, so I didn't deviate from Ryan's instructions at all out of fear of single-handedly ruining Thanksgiving. Everyone in the family said it was the best turkey they'd ever had, by far. Thanks Ryan! The only change I'll make next year will be to use a ratio of 2/3 butter & 1/3 maple syrup for the injection - a couple family members don't have the same sweet tooth as the rest of us, although they still said it was the best turkey they'd ever had.

[@SavannahStarrett]

definitely the PERFECT Turkey. Cooked this for my Friendsgiving and it was a hit! Thank you.

[@ItsRyanTurley]

Ayyye! So stoked to hear that 🙌🏼 My goal for this channel is to make everyone the star of their kitchen/backyard... Let’s GO!

[@SavannahStarrett]

@@ItsRyanTurley silly question, what did you use to tie the turkey legs together and where did you get it?

[@ItsRyanTurley]

@@SavannahStarrett no silly questions here 😭 that is butchers / kitchen twine you can find it at most grocery stores. Also some butcher shops / meat dept will give you a few feet if you ask nicely 😊 🤫

[@kyleroggenbuck1256]

I'll follow your recipe as a tester this weekend, in preparation for my first ThxGiving with my new smoker.

[@ItsRyanTurley]

YOOOO! That's awesome! Would love to hear how it turns out. Hope you enjoy it Kyle!

[@kyleroggenbuck1256]

@@ItsRyanTurley Followed recipe 95%. My guests got delayed, so I dialed it back to 225 and rested it double foil wrapped in towels in a cooler for 2 hours. Created my own rub, because my wife is allergic to peppers. Still AMAZING, warm, juicy, and the 4 of us ate it all. I took pics. Wish I could pist them.

Great video. Thanks for posting!

[@ItsRyanTurley]

Thanks for watching!

I'm going to make this at Christmas this year. I did one at Thanksgiving on my Traeger and it turned out great, but I didn't inject the meat or brine it first.

Butter ball turkeys come already brined just season and smoke ! So much easier and the same final product

[@ItsRyanTurley]

Lol their brines are trash, respectfully. It’s just salt 😅
