Practice Turkey

[grundy53]

I cooked a practice bird on my Traeger today. I brined it overnight then rubbed it with EVOO and some Cabelas rub. Then cooked it at 300° for three hours.

Oh my! I may have to get close to the Traeger at work to try this for our Thanksgiving dinner on the boat. That looks like it could be the best tasting turkey in history.

I forgot to mention that I stuffed the bird with slices of oranges, lemons, limes, and apples.

You need some practice eaters!

How was the white meat?  Did it turn out moist or did it dry out a bit?

Haven't dug into it yet. Letting it rest right now.

How many lbs. was the bird? Going to do my 1st one on the Traeger.......no practice run  hope it works out or im gonna be in trouble from the Mrs.  18 people to feed (deep frying one too)

This one was a little over ten pounds. Check it early. It cooks faster than you would think. I was going to pull it at 165-170° but when I checked it after 3 hours it was already 180°. It tastes great but a bit dry wish I would have checked it sooner.

We watched one infomercial too many and bought the indoor turkey deep fryer.  Handles up to 20 lb turkeys.  We got a 15 pounder that will be be cooked on Friday.  The kids can't make it over until then so we're holding T-day off by one day.  In theory it takes 56 minutes to cook the turkey.
