Smoked turkey is a dish made by smoking a whole turkey over low heat until it is cooked through and infused with a smoky flavor. The turkey is typically coated with a dry rub or marinade made of a variety of herbs and spices, such as paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper, to add flavor and tenderness to the meat.
The smoking process is usually done using a smoker or charcoal grill and takes several hours to complete. The slow cooking process allows the turkey to retain its moisture and results in tender, juicy meat with a distinctive smoky flavor.
Smoked turkey is a popular dish during Thanksgiving and other holiday celebrations, but it can also be enjoyed year-round. It can be served as a main course with sides such as mashed potatoes and green beans, or used in sandwiches, salads, and other dishes.
