Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 1 cup melted butter
- hot sauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp white miso
- ½ cup turkey stock
Combine the cooled melted butter with hot sauce, maple syrup, white miso and turkey stock; whisk.
Inject throughout the turkey, whisking often because the emulsion separates, and spread more butter all over the bird.
Tuck the wing tips under the breast so they do not burn or shield the skin.
- 12–13 lb turkey
Smoke at 300F for two and a half to four and a half hours depending on size, monitoring breast and thigh temperature.
Pull when the thickest part of the breast reads about 150 and the thigh about 160; this one took about two hours 45 minutes.
