How to Prepare a Smoked Turkey
Our Hickory-Smoked Turkeys are fully cooked, ready to heat and serve. The only challenge is making sure that you do not dry out the turkey meat by re-heating on too high of a temperature or for too long. Here’s our recommendation of how to prepare a smoked turkey:
-
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
-
- Remove turkey from the package.
-
- Cover pan with foil.
-
- Insert meat thermometer into the thigh without touching the bone.
-
- Place turkey in a preheated oven and heat for approximately 1 hour, when the internal temperature reaches 140°F.
-
- Begin checking the turkey for doneness about 30 minutes before the recommended cook time.
-
- Your turkey is ready when the meat thermometer reaches 140°F in the thigh. Carve and serve immediately with your favorite sides and a glass of local wine or Wurst Haus beer!
