The Best Tasting Smoked Turkey I Have Ever Made

[@jaycher6681]

I use this also and it comes out great. Ive been following mike for 6 years and hes great. Very easy to follow and i always come here for no fail ways to cook. Meat is too expensive to ruin it. But we appreciate you, happy Thanksgiving!

[@josepadilla7516]

I use this method every year. Best turkey ive ever had. Extremely juicy even days after. I used to deep fry and by far this method works better

[@StevenBooker-j6m]

This is the first time I've seen mayonnaise for a binder. It's a great idea, and I plan to use it this week. Awesome video, my man.

[@jaybooth4815]

That’s a picture perfect looking turkey Mike! The Kosmos brine is awesome. Looks absolutely delicious too! Cheers brother!

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thanks Jay!

[@robbiekoerper5162]

Thank you again for your videos. I was asked to smoke a turkey this thanksgiving as I have the day off. I will try the turkey hanger

[@pearsth]

Great video, was looking for some direction for my first smoked turkey this year and this fit the bill. You got a new subscriber.

[@generay6807]

Post how good it turned out.

[@BuckeyeToe]

Thank you Mike once again for this recipe. I look forward to doing this every year. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your and as always Go Browns!

[@gharv1313]

Fantastic looking bird! Nailed it brother 👌 cheers 🍺

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you! Cheers

[@mbaker825]

I started using the Kosmo’s Q brine because of your previous video using it. I have never hung the turkey but I do use the internal turkey cage to hold it upright in my cabinet smoker and it always turns out perfect!

[@doublea4760]

Starting to come up with some turkey ideas for this year. Im gonna try the kosmos q turkey brine for the 1st time, also going to do it in my vertical. Im watching videos and look who i came across, you!! Awesome video man. A full cook from start to finish and it came out looking awesome. Keep it up man 🫡

[@SimplisticsBBQ]

I’m ready for turkey time Mike. 😎😎

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

It’s never too early

[@RedPede]

I swear I just watched this last night

[@tomsfoodfactory5086]

I need to try that mayo & rub combo. I've done it with wings and they always turned out amazing!

[@RagedContinuum]

looks good I want to do this

[@slideoff1]

Yup, I have the same smoker and I'ma doin a good size bird soon! That looked really good!

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you. Happy smoking

[@jimcochran2034]

Hi i was wondering what pellets you were using .. thanks

[@darrylvanmoorsel5407]

What kind of pellets did you use? Pecan?

[@mikemundt3218]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a vertical, but can't find a series 3 anywhere to actually assess the interior size. Will a series 3 rack fit a whole rack of baby back ribs? What about a whole 12 to 14 pound shoulder? For a family of 3 is the series 5 really needed? It'd be nice to fit a family size Papa Murphy's pizza in one on my pizza stone. Our local TSC has the 3 and 5 for the same price, but only the 5 is in stock for pickup today.

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

The series 5 is the way to go.

[@mikemundt3218]

@@WeekendWarriorBBQ After watching your video of the Pork back ribs on the 3 series, I was thinking that too, and the pizza you did in the 3 series only looked to be about 14 inches. Turkey looks amazing. I may be headed back to Tractor Supply tomorrow. I should probably start thawing a Tri-Tip and a shoulder...

[@jaycher6681]

Hey its time for a new smoker. The vertical pitboss is great but more space would be nice. What do you recommend?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Hey, Jay! I got rid of my Pit Boss a while back and went with the Lone Star Grillz Vertical Offset Smoker. Its huge. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@BoomerBends]

LSG Vertical Offset will set you back about $4,000.

[@gabegarza6780]

Did the turkey temperature rise any as it rested? I did a prime roast in my 55 gallon barrel smoker the other day and pulled it out at 125° and in the 45 minute rest it raised to 132°

[@carlj.2023]

If you think that brine is good on a turkey you need to try high mountain brown sugar brine and traeger apple honey rub. It's amazing

[@shadowspirit93]

I thought about smoking the neck and gizzards with the turkey but I can’t find anything on it 🥲 what would your feedback be on that? How long and all that 😩

[@BoofPacc17]

Would apple flavor pellets go good with this exact recipe?

[@jimwoods9380]

What did you set your smoker temp to?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

275 F

[@jimwoods9380]

@@WeekendWarriorBBQthank you

[@robertwoods4457]

Did it taste salty? Cause I want to use kosmos brine, but at 9,000 MG of salt is extremely high in sodium. That’s the only reason I’m hesitant on buying it

[@Drewdtx]

Well, it is a brine. If you were to do a 50/50 salt/sugar brine,(my usual mix) the total salt content of that would be high as well. Of course not all of the salt gets absorbed into the meat plus rinsing off the bird after the brine removes surface salt. Don't be scared! Give it a try. I don't get an over salted taste on any of the many turkeys I have brined before. When resting after the brine in the fridge, I leave the bird uncovered. This promotes an even crisper skin.

[@jaegarbombs7297]

Not to be rude but it's literally a brine, salt is the entire point

[@generay6807]

Make sure to rinse it really good. It won’t taste salty

[@kyleivie6984]

You rinse the brine off. If it turns out salty, it was brined too long or wasn't well rinsed.

[@JuniorGMan84]

Can I do this on a regular horizontal smoker without hanging?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Yes you can.

[@JuniorGMan84]

@@WeekendWarriorBBQlay direct on the grate with no drip pan?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

I would use a drip pan to keep your smoker clean but it isn’t necessary if you don’t want to

[@TheSquirrel49721]

I know it’s a vid…But if you’re looking you ain’t cooking!! 🍻

[@Indifference2000]

Has anyone used this brine on Duck?

[@MrMothman33]

Miracle whip 🤢🤢🤢🤢

[@Chillomatic1]

This is one of your older videos. I copied this technique a few years back from you.
