Ingredients
- 12-14 lb turkey
- 1 cup herb butter (softened butter blended with thyme, rosemary, sage, and a pinch of garlic powder)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Applewood and hickory wood chips for added smoky flavor
Instructions
Prep the Turkey: Generously coat the turkey with herb butter, season with salt and pepper, and allow it to marinate for 30 minutes, letting the flavors absorb.
Fire it Up: Heat up Unifire’s wood-fired surface, setting up a two-zone cooking area – one for high-heat searing and the other for slow, even roasting.
Sear and Smoke: Begin by searing the turkey to lock in its juices and flavors, then transfer it to the cooler zone. Add the applewood and hickory chips, and let the turkey smoke slowly to achieve a deep, rich flavor.
Enjoy: Carve and serve with a side of crispy fire-roasted vegetables for a smoky twist on the classic Thanksgiving meal.
Gather your loved ones around Unifire, and let the warmth of the fire and the aroma of smoked turkey create a Thanksgiving celebration that’s all about savoring flavors, togetherness, and cherished memories.
