🧂 Ingredients

• 12 lbs turkey

• 4 When the turkey is completely dry, rub olive oil and seasoning all over the bird
  (including inside the cavity).
• 5 Add a few cloves of garlic and sprigs of fresh rosemary inside the cavity.

  gravy), insert probes (if using) and smoke at 300°F (150°C) for 3 ½ to 4 hours.
  The turkey is done when it hits at least 160°F (71°C) in the breast and 170°F
  (77°C) in the thigh. 
• 7 Rest the turkey (loosely cover with foil), while the turkey is resting the
  turkey temperature will increase.
• 8 After the turkey has rested for at least 30 minutes, again check the
  temperature, the turkey needs to be at least 165°F (74°C) to be safe to eat.
  Slice, serve, eat and enjoy!
