Our Pre Cooked Hickory Smoked Turkey
is a specialty that our smokemaster has continued to perfect! This turkey is a whole bone-in turkey that is aged in a simple brine for days, before being slow-smoked and fully cooked over real hickory wood chips for a savory & succulent flavor.
It's packaged in a vacuum-sealed bag to lock in that flavor and freshness for you to enjoy. Since it's fully cooked, you can serve the whole smoked turkey at room temperature or heated to your desired temperature. No matter which method you choose, we can guarantee your guests will be delighted.
BEST VALUE Turkeys must ship together to the same address.
How to serve a Whole Smoked Turkey
We recommend carving your turkey before serving to guests. You can do this by placing the whole turkey on a platter or cutting board and removing the legs & wings, before slicing the rest of the meat from the turkey. See our Cooking Instructions tab for additional details & ideas.
How to Heat a Whole Smoked Turkey
We recommend heating your whole turkey in a 350 degree F oven covered in foil or in a baking bag, careful not to overheat since the product is already fully cooked. See more details on the cooking instructions tab.
How To Thaw Turkey
- Thaw turkey completely in the refrigerator.
- Remove from packaging and netting.
- Use the heating instructions below if desired.
For best quality, do not overheat. It is characteristic of smoked poultry for the juices and meat to be pink in color and for the bones to be a reddish color. This does not indicate the poultry is undercooked.
