This is our turkey from Thanksgiving this year. Of course, we decided to try smoking it on the Big Green Egg. And it was wonderful. The skin turned out really brown because we tried to inject it with a combination of chicken stock, lemon juice, melted butter and spices. But the butter kept thickening when it came into contact with the cold turkey flesh, and it wouldn't pass through the syringe. So, Bryan & his mom ended up pouring the solution over the turkey, and putting some of it just under the skin too. And butter really browns.
But the flavor of the turkey was really good -slightly smoky, but not overpowering. The thing I liked best about doing the turkey on the BGE was that Bryan took care of cooking it and I could focus on making all of the other side dishes. ;)
