Turkey in a Smoker PT620M https://img4.cooker-king.com/201907/2019/0730/8a/3/683208/300x200x90.jpg This is a great recipe for smoked turkey. A barbecue grill is nearly impossible to cook a large bird. A smoker is best for this. I prefer hickory chips or hickory wood. Hickory generates a more even smokiness than other woods, and it does not matter whether the wood is green or seasoned. Mesquite, if not well seasoned, will generate a creosote type coating because of the sap that oozes out of the wood while cooking. 13 servings Ingredients: 1 tablespoon Ground black pepper 1 tablespoon Salt 1 tablespoon Garlic powder 1 Onion, quartered 1 Apple, quartered 2 cans Cola-flavored carbonated beverage 1/2 cup Butter 2 tablespoons Seasoned salt 4 cloves Garlic, crushed 10 pounds Whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
