    Brother I tried my first smoked spatchcock turkey today. Followed this video to a T even the same seasonings. Brining the turkey for 14-15 hours with your birdbath brine solution is the truth. BY FAR THE BEST TURKEY IVE EVER HAD!!! I of course cut out the back bone and also took the extra time to cut into the membrane and take out the breast bone! Never in my 40 years have I’m seen my family eat a whole turkey at thanksgiving. Today they smashed the whole thing. I have pics to prove it. Lol. It was amazing. Thanks.

      Okay, I’ve followed Matt’s Spatchcock Turkey tips before, but not with his hickory rub. Holy cow, I picked up a bottle at my local Ace Hardware and used it this weekend and has to be the best turkey I’ve ever made. I told my wife this was better than a honey baked ham! So good! Get the seasoning everyone!

    I've been using your rubs on brisket, ribs, wings and pulled pork. So far, I've heard from all my family and friends that everything has been excellent. The wings have been dubbed the best wings they've every had along with the pulled pork. I bought the Bird Baptism/Holy Cow combo for our Thanksgiving turkey. I spatchcocked it and seasoned it under the skin and on top and bottom. It was unanimous... best turkey they've every had!! I smoked it with a combo of hickory chips and pellets on my Lone Star Grillz 42'' smoker at 275 for about three hours and cranked to 300 when I got to 151 degrees and added the bourbon glaze you recommended. Thank you for all the great recipes!!

    Hello Matt. Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving. I smoked my first turkey yesterday. I have been smoking in my camp chef for about 6 years now. I spatchcock it but when I went to my local Ace, they where completely sold out of your brine kit. So I made my own and used apple cider and some burboun. I smoked it with bourbon maple pecan Pellets. I smoked right at around 290 degrees and basted with butter. We had our regular Thanksgiving on Wednesday, my daughter is on a management team at a Marriott hotel and she works Thanksgiving so some of her employees can be with their families on Thanksgiving. Thursday we had some widows from our church that would have been alone and they just loved the turkey. My wife thinks that how we should do turkey from now on. Thanks for the inspiration.

  • @jimoray3
    @jimoray3 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Well I followed your lead and went to Ace Hardware and purchased 3 Meat Church items. Hickory and Voodoo spice and Bird Baptism Brine.
    I did a 2 day brine on (2) 15 lbs turkeys and spatchcocked them. I then let sit in fridge with hickory spice for a day in the fridge.
    I cooked 1 on Traeger Pro 22 and the other in the oven. I also did a ham with the hickory spice and peach/ our own honey raise glaze and wow this was the best thanksgiving cook ever.
    The moist turkey was the best ever. We live on a ski resort in Northern Utah in Eden and I smoked at a 19 degrees on my Traeger. 275 for 3.5 hours 163 pulled. It was snowing big time but we were under our Ray Cabin Deck Porch roof looking at the ski resort. Oven was for 3 hours at 350. Double smoked ham spiral slice was at 225 2.5 hours.
    Your display at the Ace was exclusive and wow impressive. Meat Church was the Showcase in front of the store in a huge area display. Sure love the Meat Church product and content.
    My son who is a big time grilled said best turkey and ham ever.
    Thanks for making me look good. 8 kids and 22 grandkids and 1 wife lol.

    Hey Matt. First I would like to say that I love your videos. They are very informative and to the point. I spatchcocked and smoked a 17 pound turkey for Thanksgiving this year on my Pellet grill. I brined it overnight using my own brine recipe, then I let it sit for a day in my refrigerator. I used Meat Church Hickory seasoning and used mayonnaise on the skin as a binder. I also seasoned under the skin on the breast and smoked it to your recommended temperature. Best bird I have ever done and I’ve done a few. Also did a 3.5 pound tri tip following your reverse sear method, again with the hickory seasoning. Fantastic. Lastly I made the Gold Rush cocktail. I made the honey syrup using mesquite honey that I bought here in Oregon. Didn’t have Buffalo Trace but I did have High West cask aged bourbon. Great cocktail. The whole dinner was amazing. Thank you for your recipes. Just watched the wine braised short rib video. Guess I’m heading to the meat market. 😎

  • @robertbusek30
    @robertbusek30 24 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Happy Thanksgiving! So I did this turkey today. I started by brining it in Bird Baptism (got the last package on sale at Ace Hardware) overnight. I used homemade Mayo as a binder and rubbed it with a rosemary rub that’s a family favorite. I smoked it on my Weber Smokefire using Costco pellets at 300 degrees, brushing it with butter ever 45 minutes.
    The Turkey was done in just over two hours (this was a 13+ lb. bird, so I was surprised by the speed of the cook). It was moist and completely delicious! It was just coming up on the edge of being over seasoned, so maybe next time I’ll either get a “all natural” bird or only brine it for eight hours or so instead of overnight.
    Thanks, Matt, for helping me up my game this year! I didn’t have any bourbon in the house, so I’ll have to wait until December to try that cocktail…

    I followed Matt's suggestions exactly. I brined the turkey in the Bird Baptism Brine for 14 hours for a 14 pound turkey. I then cut the backbone out. Not an easy task for an old guy like me but got it done using poulty shears. I went out and purchased some Duke's Mayo. Slathered the bird liberally with the Duke's. Then applied the Hickory Seasoning to the bird. Put it on the Traeger which is an older model bought from Costco probably 6 or 7 years ago. Set it at 275 degrees and cooked it for 3 1/2 hours and pulled at 162 in the breasts. I let it rest a couple of hours. It was beautiful and the best turkey we have ever made. It was extremely moist and great tasting. We are doing 2 more on Saturday for the family Thanksgiving. I will probably cut out the backbones before I brine just to save time for getting the birds ready on time. Will do one on the Traeger and one on the Big Green Egg.

    Excellent video. Love the brine and spatchcock. Have done it that way for the last few years to rave reviews. In the past, pulled it from the brine, rinsed and let it dry in the fridge for a day. Much easier to get the rub to adhere. Basted with herb butter. No more turkeys in the oven for us!! Thanks Matt!

    Great video, spatchcock is the way to go. I favor a dry brine in the fridge, like the way it tightens the skin... also make a compound butter as a rub (using meat church seasonings) under the skin and on the skin. Have not smoked the bird but have had outstanding results just roasting it in the oven. When roasting in the oven I layer some Cajun Mirepoix under the bird to get the benefits of the aromatics and to use to make gravy. Will have to pick up some Hickory and give that a try this year.

    Followed this to a T and this turned out being my best turkey ever. I used his brine, rub and instead of a gallon of water, I used a gallon of Milos extra sweet tea. Everyone loved it. The only thing I did different was bump the temperature up to 300 once the temperature hit 150 in the breast. I didn't pull the turkey off until it reached 170 in the breast. Let it rest for about 1 hour. Was still hot when I sliced into it so it probably could have rested a little longer. I always cut both breast out and slice against the grain of the meat.
    A lot of people pull their turkeys at 160, but I'll never do that again because the dark meat (especially drum part of wing) isn't always cooked to my liking.
    Next time, I'm going to give myself more time and let the turkey dry in the refrigerator some.

    Hey Matt, we got my dad a Traeger a few years ago as a Fathers Day gift but somehow I've become the designated smoker/griller. Your videos have been the biggest part in my improvement in smoking meats and maybe one day I'll venture into offset territory.
    Anyways, if I wanted to let my turkey dry in the fridge after the wet brine, when would I season it? I was thinking wet brine 12-13 hrs, dry for 12-24 hours, then season the night before for a morning smoke. Or should I just season the morning of the smoke after drying?
    Happy Holidays to you and yours.

    I’m glad that you guys are Ace Hardware vendor of the year. However, I have not found an Ace Hardware anywhere near Portland, Oregon considering a relatively wide radius, that has your Texas chili seasoning in stock. Quite frustrating! Lol.

      I use Duck Fat spray. It's like PAM, but it's Duck Fat. it helps crisp the skin as well. If you can't find it at your local grocery store, Amazon has it. Or olive oil, avocado oil.

      A lot of people use mustard or cooking oil spray. An oil cooking spray or duck fat spray might give it a nicer color.

    My family always needs 3 large turkeys to cover Thanksgiving. I can never get the white meat and dark both done without the other being over or under done. So This year I went all out. Took a large commercial fridge, turned it into a smoker, spatchcocked, brined and injected the 3 birds, and have them all in the smoker. Followed your timing and recipe. 4 AM, fingers crossed. Here goes!

    about how long does a 24lb turkey take to cook on the smoker at 275?

  • @cybrwzrd
    @cybrwzrd 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I made my best turkey ever (aside from the smoked nashville hot breast I did) following this guide. The Hickory rub is better than Voodoo for Turkey. Was better than the smokifried I did last year. 7 hours total on the Traeger @225 for 3 hours then 4 hours @275 for a 14lb bird.

    • @cybrwzrd
      @cybrwzrd 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I did add an extra step of injecting it after brining. I used the Meat Church chicken injection combined with melted butter. I let it rest for 2 hours, and when I cut into it juices/fat/butter still squirted out.

  • @majorpowell10

    I'm doing it this weekend as a trial run for a big Thanksgiving dinner we have a lot of people coming to. My wife wants the drippings for the gravy. I'm thinking to just put a foil pan under the grate in my traeger to catch the drippings and maybe toss some onions and carrots in there too. That shouldn't mess with the airflow/smoke, right? Seems like it comes up the sides anyway around the metal plate. Or is there a better way to catch the turkey drippings?

  • @joshuakallenberger915
    @joshuakallenberger915 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Does the size of the smoker affect the cook? I have the smaller Traeger, and I have not had good luck with cooking turkey. I wonder if the turkey is just too big for the space and I'm not getting even air flow. Outside is very done, while next to the bone is under done. Cooking at 275.

    Is it better to cook two smaller turkey or one large one? If doing two how does that effect time of cook?

    • @Berry_MaCocknher
      @Berry_MaCocknher หลายเดือนก่อน

      2 smaller is better than 1 big. I have a very large family, and I cook 2 (12-14lbs) every Thanksgiving. I've tried one bigger one, and it did not turn out very well. Cook time is going to very depending on quality of smoker. I have a Lone Star Grillz Pellet smoker, which is made with very thick steel (3/8"), so cooking two is no issue. I still come in around the 3 to 3 1/2 hour mark. Outdoor temp does come into play, but usually only when it's down around freezing, I live in Ohio, and for about the past 5 years, we have had very mild weather on Thanksgiving.
