Smoked Turkey
Description
The preparation starts by mixing paprika, salt, black pepper, 21 Seasoning Salute, and garlic seasoning to create a robust spice rub. The turkey is rubbed generously, including beneath the skin to infuse flavor deeply. Whole apples and an onion are placed inside the cavity to impart aromatic moisture during smoking. The turkey is then placed breast up in the smoker.
The smoking duration is approximately 30 to 40 minutes per pound, but internal temperature is the best doneness indicator. The smoke produces a savory crust on the skin while gently cooking the meat to juiciness. The fruit stuffing adds a subtle sweetness and moisture that complements the smokiness.

- 2 tbsp paprika
- 3 tbsp salt

- Place the turkey in a smoker with the breast facing up. Stuff the turkey with whole onion and whole apples. This will add great flavors to the turkey.
