Learn how to prepare and smoke a turkey using a pellet grill, and why it is hands down one of the best (and fool proof) ways to smoke a turkey at home! Show
Whether you’ve got a Traeger, Pit Boss, Camp Chef, Yoder, or any other type of pellet grill, we’ve got you covered. Let’s Go!  If you’ve ever done a smoked turkey, you know that it’s an amazing way to prepare what can otherwise be a pretty lackluster meat. You may have tried cooking turkey outdoors on a gas or charcoal grill, but you probably don’t make smoked turkey very often. We spent some time recently comparing propane and electric smokers, but unfortunately, neither of these options work too great for turkey. That’s because with propane, you have to babysit your bird for hours on end, making sure the temperatures never get too high or your wood chips get too low. And while electric smokers do offer “set it and forget it” convenience, they rarely come in sizes large enough to practically accommodate big pieces of meat like a full packer brisket or a full size turkeys. However, one option we are fans of is the the fast-and-scorching-hot-under-a-trash-can-method….yes really. But it’s tough to add smoke flavor with this method, which is what we are trying to accomplish here. That all changes when you add a pellet grill to your outdoor cooking equipment mix. With many very affordable and simple to operate pellet grill options on the market, like these ones from Zgrills, you get the best of all worlds. By utilizing automatically adjusting cooking temperatures like an indoor oven, while also getting the smoking and meat flavoring benefits of combustion from an outdoor wood smoker, you really can have it all. This is the missing hardware that makes smoking delicate meats like turkey 100% easier and can easily turn smoked turkey into a regular indulgence! Choosing Your Turkey for Pellet Grill SmokingFirst choice is the bird that you are going to smoke for your meal. When it comes to turkey, bigger isn’t always better. For food safety reasons, go with a bird that is 15 pounds or less. Save the massive 22-pounder for spatchcocking on your monster grill midwinter. For now, you want something that will cook evenly in its whole form, without taking the entire day. A breast can often be finished in 2-3 hours, while a whole bird may take 4-5 or more. It all depends on the size of the bird and your preferred cooking temperature. To Brine or Not to Brine Before Smoking on a Pellet GrillWet BriningA turkey prep method you’ll read about a lot is brining. At its most basic, this is just soaking your bird overnight in a solution that includes salt, water and some aromatics. But, what does it do? Well, the salt naturally penetrates the bird overnight and helps to not only flavor the meat but help it retain moisture throughout the cooking process. Do you need to brine your turkey before you smoke it? The answer is, it depends. If you have a supermarket turkey that’s been injected with a brine solution, don’t bother brining at home. It won’t do anything. You can tell if your turkey is already brined because the label will say something like “moisture enhanced with up to X% solution of turkey broth, salt, sugar” what have you. If, on the other hand, you have a natural bird without additives, you could take the time to brine it. You can use one of the many brining recipes online (Alton Brown’s is a classic) or save a bit of effort with a premade turkey brining solution. This Brine Kit from San Francisco Salt Co. is an easy-all in-one solution. It also pairs well with apple wood smoke. Organic Turkey Brine Kit – 16 oz. Apple Sage
Brining for a good 24 hours before you smoke it will yield a more flavorful, juicier bird, so the time in the brine can be worth it. </p><h3>Dry Brining</h3><p>However, a much easier way to achieve similar results is by <strong><em>dry brining</em></strong> your turkey instead.</p><p>Simply coat the inside and outside of the rinsed and dried bird with kosher salt and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.madbackyard.com/best-electric-pepper-grinder/" data-wpel-link="internal">pepper</a> and store on a drying rack set on top of a baking sheet in the refrigerator overnight.</p><p>Wipe off the excess salt left on the outside with a wet paper towel before you cook, and then season with all your <strong>non-salt</strong> herbs and seasonings.&nbsp; The bird is plenty well salted at this point from the salt penetrating overnight.</p><p>With dry brining, you get all the benefits of salt penetration and moisture retention without having to deal with a giant bucket of salty raw turkey water when you’re done!</p><p><b>Note: If your turkey is labeled “Pre-Brined” or “Contains up to X% Saline and Water”, or anything along those lines, either skip this step or go VERY easy with the amount of salt you use. It may already have more than enough salt injected into it and dry brining will make it overly salty.</b></p><span class="ezoic-autoinsert-ad ezoic-under_second_paragraph"></span><p><strong>Otherwise, follow our steps for how to do it below.&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>And even if you don’t use additional salt, you can still put it on a wire rack in the fridge overnight to dry out the skin and get it crispier in the smoker the next day.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Injecting your Turkey</h3><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey.jpeg" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="ezlazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-5847" alt="injecting marinade into turkey before putting on pellet grill" width="984" height="686" data-ezsrcset="https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey.jpeg 984w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey-300x209.jpeg 300w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey-768x535.jpeg 768w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey-265x186.jpeg 265w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey-531x371.jpeg 531w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey-561x391.jpeg 561w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey-364x254.jpeg 364w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey-728x508.jpeg 728w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey-608x424.jpeg 608w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey-758x528.jpeg 758w" sizes="(max-width: 984px) 100vw, 984px" ezimgfmt="rs rscb47 src ng ngcb47 srcset" data-ezsrc="https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-marinade-into-smoked-turkey.jpeg"></a></p><p>A final, more surgical option for adding salt and moisture retaining qualities to your turkey is to inject it with a slaty, flavorful solution.</p><p>Just PLEASE be careful not to do this to a bird that’s already been injected as described above or your turkey will become overly salty.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-turkey.jpeg" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="ezlazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-5848" alt="injecting a marinade into a turkey before smoking" width="712" height="552" data-ezsrcset="https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-turkey.jpeg 712w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-turkey-300x233.jpeg 300w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-turkey-561x435.jpeg 561w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-turkey-364x282.jpeg 364w,https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-turkey-608x471.jpeg 608w" sizes="(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px" ezimgfmt="rs rscb47 src ng ngcb47 srcset" data-ezsrc="https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/injecting-turkey.jpeg"></a></p><p><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-166" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"></span><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 large-mobile-banner-2 large-mobile-banner-2166 adtester-container adtester-container-166" data-ez-name="madbackyard_com-large-mobile-banner-2"><span id="div-gpt-ad-madbackyard_com-large-mobile-banner-2-0" ezaw="300" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px" class="ezoic-ad"><script data-ezscrex="false" data-cfasync="false" style="display:none">if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'madbackyard_com-large-mobile-banner-2','ezslot_9',166,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-madbackyard_com-large-mobile-banner-2-0');You can use a mixture of turkey stock, melted butter, cajun spices or your favorite BBQ rub;

Seasoning the ExteriorIf you already dry brined, go easy on adding any additional the salt on the exterior but you can add some herbs or a law salt BBQ rub if you wish. If you only injected then you can use a saltier rub on the skin at this point, or even a cajun or spicy seasoning if you want some bolder flavors for your turkey breast. You can add a little bit of cooking oil if you wish to help the rub stick better, but don;t use too much or the skin will have a harder time crisping up. For the crispiest skin possible, dry brine the turkey overnight and then don’t add ANY oil to the skin before putting it on the pellet grill. Best Pellets for Smoking a Turkey on a Pellet GrillYou have a lot of freedom when it comes to choosing the right wood to smoke your turkey. Mesquite and hickory will give a much more aggressive smoke flavor. This is perfect for turkey you plan to use on sandwiches or eat in smaller portions with a lot of sides. You can also go for a milder smoke flavor by choosing oak or fruitwood pellets. Pecan, apple, beech and cherry all give great results. For fun, you can choose your woods seasonally, using beech and cherry in spring and summer and pecan and apple into the fall and winter. Make sure you purchase pellets that are sized correctly to work in the hopper of your particular pellet grill, like these ones from Zgrills. </p><span id="ezoic-pub-video-placeholder-2" class="ezoic-videopicker-video"></span><h2>How to Smoke Your Turkey on a Pellet Grill</h2><p>With a pellet grill, this is the easy part!</p><p>Just plug in the grill, choose your bird, decide whether to brine or not, then add your wood pellets.</p><p>Set the temperature to about 325 degrees, and let the grill come up to temperature.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/pellet-grill-at-300-deg-F-e1617193994309.jpeg" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="ezlazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-5850" alt="pellet grill temperature set to 300 deg F" width="1000" height="870" ezimgfmt="rs rscb47 src ng ngcb47" data-ezsrc="https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/pellet-grill-at-300-deg-F-e1617193994309.jpeg"></a></p><p>While you technically <em>CAN</em> cook your turkey “low and slow” at 225-250 degrees like traditional pork and brisket barbecue, you will never get crispy skin because the fat will not render at these low temperatures.</p><p>A good pellet grill like the ones from Traeger or Camp Chef&nbsp;will automatically maintain their temperatures by adding more wood pellets when they need to.<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-615" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"></span></p><p>So set your <a target="_blank" href="https://www.madbackyard.com/how-to-cook-a-turkey-breast-on-a-pellet-grill/" data-wpel-link="internal">turkey in the cooking chamber and let the pellet grill</a> do its thing!</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/smoked-turkey-on-a-pellet-grill-scaled-e1617193965563.jpeg" data-wpel-link="internal"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="ezlazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-5853" alt="a turkey cooking on a pellet grill" width="1000" height="547" ezimgfmt="rs rscb47 src ng ngcb47" data-ezsrc="https://www.madbackyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/smoked-turkey-on-a-pellet-grill-scaled-e1617193965563.jpeg"></a></p><p><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-170" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"></span><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 mobile-leaderboard-1 mobile-leaderboard-1170 adtester-container adtester-container-170" data-ez-name="madbackyard_com-mobile-leaderboard-1"><span id="div-gpt-ad-madbackyard_com-mobile-leaderboard-1-0" ezaw="250" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto!important;margin-right:auto!important;min-height:250px;min-width:250px" class="ezoic-ad"><script data-ezscrex="false" data-cfasync="false" style="display:none">if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[250,250],'madbackyard_com-mobile-leaderboard-1','ezslot_18',170,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-madbackyard_com-mobile-leaderboard-1-0');Rotate hourly for even cooking.</p><p>No need to baste, this will prevent crispy skin and slow the cooking process.

an incredible 165 foot bluetooth range and works right with your smartphone so you don’t need to carry a separate controller around with you like many other remote thermometers require. It’s got a great free app that is constantly being updated and even has an algorithm to predict how much longer your type of meat will take to cook based on cooking temperature, target temperature, and current internal temperature. It’s like a GPS for your meat!
Anyways, back to our smoked pellet grill turkey... Pull the smoked turkey off the pellet grill when the breast reads about 160°F and the thigh reads about 170°F. The meat will continue to rise another 5°F while its resting and will be perfect when you carve. Pellet Smoking Your Thanksgiving TurkeyIf you’re like me, you think all year long about the majestic beast you’ll put on the table for Thanksgiving dinner. Plan well ahead and do a test run or two in the summer and early fall so that everything goes great on the big day. For fall, consider brining with seasonal flavorings like sage and thyme. Then smoke on a fruitwood like pecan or apple. Trash Can Turkey – The hottest, fastest, most fun way to cook a turkeyLooking for another FUN way to make Turkey?
