    I have followed Mr Reed's Channel for years. He is a giant among us that love to cook. I used this recipe for our thanksgiving this year. The Turkey was absolutely amazing. The Comments I received from friends and family were on the order of you should be cooking professionally. Best Turkey they had ever tasted. Mr Reed once again thank-you

    I've used his exact method two years in a row. My egg fires up at least three times a week. This is the best thing that's ever come off of it. Big ups my man! Turkey for the third year, thanksgiving and Christmas, coming up!!

    Love this recipe! Lived in america for several years but moved back to Ireland with my wife (American) and our BGE. We still celebrate thanks giving here in Ireland and this recipe is the one I use every years and by far the best

    I have been using this video for several years. Your level of detail is perfect and I follow your instructions to a "T" and my turkey has always been great. Only one time I was not completely satisfied and that was because I put too much injection in the turkey. But even then it was a success. Thanks for this and all your other great videos which I have used.

    So now I have a ritual, every thanksgiving I come and visit with Malcom just to brush up on my turkey smoking details, take some notes and get to preparing!!!! Thanks again Malcom!!! I would keep hitting the thumbs up button but life just isn't fair sometimes lol.

    I always enjoyed your old recipe which you showed on YT several years ago when you mixed a honey, molasses, kosher salt & brown sugar brine. That's how I still do it. It's so good that I hate to try anything else. I love smoked turkey. My first one was in 1977. A friend of mine had built his own smoker. I didn't realize that a turkey could taste so good. I never eat oven-roasted turkey anymore. That is a waste of good meat. Love your channel.

    I apologize for not commenting last year. My family loves Thanksgiving and I’m known for providing a great meal. I got a Big Green Egg last October and I really wanted to make a turkey on the Egg. But I wasn’t sure how the turkey would be. I used this recipe for the “Egg” turkey and also cooked my usual turkey in the oven. The “Egg” turkey was the hit of the meal!! This year I am going to make 2 turkeys on the Egg (one after the other). Thanks Malcolm for this recipe...you are my go-to for BGE cooking. You haven’t steered me wrong yet!!

    Followed your recipe and cook exactly and this was the best turkey I have ever eaten in my life. My entire family raved on it and declared that I was to cook another one next thanksgiving also. It was so good I went and bought another turkey to cook before then. Love all your videos and recipes and without you I wouldn't even know how to cook on my big green egg. Your the man!

  • @gd5472
    @gd5472 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I used this recipe this year. Awesome outcome. Only change is that I didn’t put any stuffing to avoid any risks to family eg E. coli. Thanks for sharing man. Success recipe. 🎉❤

  • @farmemm
    @farmemm 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I followed this guide for Thanksgiving, best turkey I've ever cooked. Cooked on BGE. It was simple and easy. Definitely going to do this again and soon.

  • @InTheKitchenWithMelissaAndDoug

    I smoked my first turkey for Christmas 2015 by following these steps. I smoked a 14 lb. turkey. Due to a death in the family, I didn't have time to search for the injection Malcom used in the video. For my injection, I used Tony Chachere's butter creole which I purchased at Kroger. For the creole seasoning sprinkled on the outside, I also used Tony Chachere's. I also placed my turkey in a V-rack and sat the rack down in an aluminum pan with water up to the bottom of the rack. I pulled my turkey off at 162º and wrapped it allowing it to finish cooking while sitting. It turned out perfectly and tasted amazing! Many family members said it was the most moist turkey that they have eaten. Thanks, Malcom, for the step-by-step help. I will definitely use these steps again.

    Mr. Reed !!! U da man!!! First time Egger here, and after watching this video I was able to cook not just one but two of the BEST turkeys ever !! Soooo good --Yum--there was no leftovers for the day after :( ... learned a ton just from this clip , looking forward to viewing others !! Somebody get this guy his own grilling show !!

  • @grussem
    @grussem 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Used your recipe for the most part on Thanksgiving. The turkey came out great! Very flavorful and super moist. I held my BGE at about 280-300. The only thing I didn't like was the skin, not quite crispy. I think if I bump it up to 325-350 for the duration it may do the trick. You were spot on with the weight recommendation, we had a 15 lb bird and it was done perfect throughout. Thanks for the tips Malcom and keep up the great BGE videos.

  • @mikedarroch6697
    @mikedarroch6697 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Have done this twice before and results were simply outstanding. Literally the best 2 turkeys I have ever eaten. My family said the same. Doing again for Thanksgiving this weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving comes early). Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    @jerryhubbard4461 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have used my Big Green Egg for almost 14 years. You did a great job. I am doing one tomorrow. You are right, 14 pounds is as big as you need for smoking. Again, very good job.

  • @iseekthegrail
    @iseekthegrail 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Fantastic way to cook a turkey. I followed this method last year both for a Friendsgiving and for Thanksgiving and everyone absolutely loved it! I have one in the brine now getting ready for the BGE tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe!

  • @micart79
    @micart79 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I follow it exact except I put it in a pan raised on a grate with a little chicken stock water and onions, garlic and let the drippings fall in the water to use to make the gravy. I'll add a pack of dry turkey gravy and cornstarch to thicken the gravy up and the smoky turkey drippings really add an extra depth of flavor. Best turkey I've ever tasted with the best gravy. Family says so too.

  • @droc5013
    @droc5013 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I tried this recipe last year and it was absolutely delicious! In fact, it was so good that I was seriously thinking about cooking another turkey just a week after Thanksgiving. It was the best tasting turkey I have even eaten and I have cooked turkeys many different ways using recipes that were highly recommended. This recipe is the best and I can’t wait to use it again this year. Thanks for the video!

  • @dfranke2703
    @dfranke2703 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @cbass810
    @cbass810 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wanted to think you for this video. I did this on thanksgiving for a family (mine of course) who is more of a ham than turkey fan and it was a huge hit. I don't have a super nice smoker yet but I'm limping along on an electric one I got for my birthday. Half hickory, half pecan wood, best smoke flavor I've found to date. you sir, are a righteous cook. again thanks for the video and I hope you and yours have an awesome holiday season.

  • @PurpleChevron

  • @yzkid100
    @yzkid100 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Followed this recipe for Christmas and dang the turkey went first out of all the food! People couldn't stop raving about it. I forgot to inject it and the breast still came out as if it was swimming. I actually cooked it on my weber kettle set up for indirect and kept a pan below with vegies and the giblets and made a gravy with it! apple wood smoked gravy and Turkey. It was a Merry Christmas thanks Malcom!

  • @philipbarnhardt4349
    @philipbarnhardt4349 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @michaelanchando7358
    @michaelanchando7358 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Family loved the Turkey I made off this video. Only thing i changed was i did not use the apples. I swapped those out for jalapenos and serrano's. I used your Cajun Smoked Turkey Recipe for my brine, DryRub and injection. The family loved it. I also added a drip pan with chicken stock, jalapenos, onions and little garlic cloves. The family said it was the best turkey they have ever had. :)

  • @WillBorgers
    @WillBorgers 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Malcom, can you please post a video on in-depth detail on heat management on the egg? I cannot seem to keep my large egg below about 350* if I let it light long enough to burn the VOCs off at the beginning. the only way i can do it is to choke it right after it lights and keep it choked the whole time but I can still smell the VOCs 40 mins into the cook. Seems like once i go past 300 it's never coming back. Using plain old Royal Oak. Since you're the only guy I watch for this, I'd love a video done by you on the subject. Thanks for everything you do Malcom!
