How do you cook a smoked turkey?
Chef's answer
Place the turkey in the smoker. Cook for 6-7 hours, basting with chicken broth every 30-45 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F. Refill the wood chips as needed. If the turkey starts to get too dark, cover it with foil.
