Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (12 pound) whole turkey, thawed if frozen, neck and giblets removed
¾ cup kosher salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Place turkey in a roasting pan. Rub salt all over and inside turkey. Let sit for 1 hour.
  • Preheat smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). If your smoker is equipped with a water pan, fill it.
