Ingredients

  • 1 whole bone-in turkey (10–12 pounds)
  • Kosher salt, as desired
  • Ground black pepper, as desired

Instructions

Step 1

Install the Accessory Frame in the bottom level of the unit. Pat turkey dry with paper towels then season with salt and pepper. Place the Roast Rack in the Bake Tray, then place the turkey on top. Open the oven door, then place the tray on the rack and close the door.

Step 2

While holding the smoke box open, use the pellet scoop to pour pellets into the smoke box until filled to the top. Then close the smoke box.

Step 3

Turn dial to select SMOKER, set temperature to 350F, and set time to 3 hours. Select START/STOP to begin cooking (preheating is not needed).

Step 4

Cooking is complete when internal temperature reads 165F in the breast and a spot with dark meat. Open door, remove turkey and let rest for at least 30 to 45 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

Break down turkey by removing the wings, breasts, legs, and thighs and serve with your favorite side dishes.
