The turkey is smoking. I placed the 12.5 pound bird in my Brinkman Electric Smoker at 7:15 PM. One of the deacons at FBC gave me some green hickory sticks I am using. The hickory smoke smells so good.
Based on the weight of the turkey, the total cooking time should be around 10 to 12 hours. There is a water pan in the smoker that, when filled, helps keep the meat moist. I injected Creole Butter Injectable Marinade into the turkey. The outside of the bird is seasoned with lemon pepper. Also, I placed apple and orange quarters inside the turkey's cavity.
I can't wait to taste it. Hopefully, it will equal last year's bird.
