OK, not much turkey left. Everyone loved it! It came out very moist and juicy. Best turkey I have had in a long time.
Here is the last picture, turkey sliced and ready to eat. Dark meat and white meat separated.
SmoknAZ- Thanks for the tip. I will have to try that next time. I did melt the butter this time, but I did not add any extra seasoning. Then I drizzled the butter over the cloth. Pre soaking and then wrapping it sounds like a good deal. Might have to try that next month when I do it for TDay. When you wrap it, do you keep it at a single layer or do you double or triple it? I pretty much had 1 to 1 1/2 wrapping on it and was somewhat surprised how brown the skin got. I pulled the cloth off after the turkey reached 155F and then put it back on the smoker 'till the breast came in at 165F. Skin crisped up a little bit more but not as much as I would have liked it to have been. Any ideas?
All in all, I was very pleased with my first turkey. A lot of prep work, but in the end, well worth it. Looking forward to doing my next one.
