Directions Smoked Turkey (Without Smoker)
Directions
-
Combine curing mixture and liquid smoke together in a bowl, mix into a paste. Pat paste on inside and outside of turkey. Place turkey in a resealable plastic bag, refrigerate for 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Wash turkey inside and out with cold water, dry. Pat with cooking oil. Place turkey in an oven bag, poke holes into bag for ventilation according to manufacturer's instructions. Set bagged turkey into a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Bake until turkey comes easily off the bone and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 6 hours.
