Its that time of year again and with Thanksgiving just around the corner, its time to demonstrate how to Smoke a Turkey. I have partnered with “Diestel Family Ranch” to show you how to prepare Turkey’s different ways with a. variety of Smokers.
In this video, I am spatchcocking a Turkey on my Vertical Offset Smoker from Lonestargrillz.
I am using a simple brine that I have used for years, and if I can pass down some advice, it’s you should always brine your Turkey to take it to another level.
Brine:
2 Quarts Apple Juice
2 Quarts Orange Juice
4 Quarts Cold / Ice Water
2 Cups Kosher Salt
1 Cup Brown Sugar
10 Whole Cloves
2-3 Apples Chopped
2-3 Oranges Chopped
Here is some additional info about Diestel Family Ranch and their turkeys:
The Diestel Family Ranch was founded in 1949 and is one of the few, small, family-owned and operated ranches left in the nation.
Due to careful farming practices and an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, a.k.a. the Diestel Difference, Diestel’s products are always juicy, tender, and deliver handcrafted artisan flavors.
Diestel turkeys are thoughtfully raised without the use of antibiotics and provided individual care, a 100% vegetarian-fed diet, plenty of fresh air, and room to roam.
From walking the flock daily and paying close attention to the turkey’s health (removing the need for antibiotics), to lining their barns with fresh pine wood shavings and using 100% organically approved probiotic and natural cleaners, Diestel is committed to raising healthy, wholesome and beautiful birds.
All of Diestel’s turkeys are certified by the Global Animal Partnership (GAP), ensuring their animal treatment practices is of the highest standard.
Each day, the Diestel family demonstrates new ways to sustain old-fashioned values. They preserve rare breeds, create their own compost, embrace regenerative agriculture, conserve natural resources, and consistently seek out new and innovative farming practices to ensure a brighter future for us all.
In addition to holiday turkeys, the family also produces year-round turkey products, including bacon, franks, burgers, and sliced deli meat.
