This delicious smoked turkey will literally fall off the bones. It may look done, but keep it in oven the entire time for fall-off-the-bone goodness. Delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar-based curing mixture , such as Morton® Tender Quick®
  • 0.25 cups liquid smoke , or more to taste
  • 1 , 12 pound
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine curing mixture and liquid smoke together in a bowl; mix into a paste. Pat paste on inside and outside of turkey. Place turkey in a resealable plastic bag; refrigerate for 24 hours.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. 3

    Wash turkey inside and out with cold water; dry. Pat with cooking oil. Place turkey in an oven bag; poke holes into bag for ventilation according to manufacturer's instructions. Set bagged turkey into a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Bake until turkey comes easily off the bone and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 6 hours.
