Yes, you can absolutely smoke a Butterball turkey! Smoking adds a wonderful layer of flavor and can produce a beautifully tender and juicy bird. When preparing a Butterball turkey for smoking, it is important to follow a few key steps to achieve the best results. First, ensure that you properly thaw the turkey if it is frozen, allowing adequate time in the refrigerator for safe thawing. You might also consider brining the turkey beforehand, as this can enhance moisture and flavor.
Once your turkey is prepared, choose your favorite wood chips, such as hickory, mesquite, or applewood, to complement the turkey's flavor. It is important to maintain a consistent temperature, ideally between 225 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, throughout the smoking process. This can take several hours depending on the size of the turkey.
