This smoked turkey rub will turn your smoked turkey into an amazing holiday dinner!  For years I have talked about smoking turkey well what better time to do that then March right? I opted to make up a dry rub recipe but a brine will be tried next time.  (I have included affiliate links to products I love. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) In addition, this post contains affiliate links that will make me a small commission when used to order online

 

 

Now, this can be smoked in any type of smoker but I use a Smoke Hollow electric smoker.  I love that I can get this one to low heat to get the flavor into the food really deep. 

 

Personally, I like to do a low, slow smoke on mine so my heat doesn’t go over 130-150 degrees.  Now I like to use Smoker pucks in my electric smoker, and then a digital meat thermometer.  Below are my smoker essentials and must-haves that I personally use.

How TO make Smoked Turkey Dry Rub:

 

Thaw out your turkey via food safety practices. 

 

Remove the turkey from the bag, you can choose to remove the innards I forgot and cooked the turkey as is. It ended up smoking the turkey neck really well.

 

Preheat your smoker and get good smoke rolling, I brought mine up to 200 degrees and held that temperature for the whole smoke.

 

Now you can do this a couple of days beforehand or if you forget like I did do it a couple of hours before smoking the turkey.

 

Rub down your turkey with the oil so it is coated before you season the turkey.

 

Sprinkle with the seasonings to your desired taste, this shows how well I coated my turkey.

 

Turkey With Dry Rub For Smoking

 

Spray your smoker rack with a nonstick spray.

 

Place your turkey on the rack and put the rack in the smoker when the smoker has reached the temperature of at least 165, I poked mine in a couple of places to make sure it was to temp.

 

Allow to smoke, but remember to watch your water dish and your chips, pucks, or pellets as you smoking.

 

Rub Turkey Smoking In Smoker

 

I smoked our turkey for 8 hours at 200 degrees and then removed the puck holder.

 

I kept the smoker at  200 degrees for the last hour.  Make sure to use a meat thermometer to make sure the turkey is cooked all the way thru.
