Step 1
Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey, and pat the turkey dry.
Step 2
Rub the minced garlic all over the turkey, then sprinkle the entire outside of the bird with seasoned salt.
Step 3
Place the turkey in a large roasting pan or disposable aluminum pan.
Step 4
Stuff the large cavity of the bird with the remaining ingredients.
Step 5
Cover the turkey loosely with foil.
Step 6
Prepare the smoker and heat to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the turkey in the smoker and baste every 1-2 hours with turkey juices from the pan.
Step 7
Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest part of the thigh. It’s good to plan 30 minutes per pound when you smoke a turkey between 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit. This turkey was 13 pounds and took about 7-8 hours to get to temperature.
Step 8
Remove the turkey from the smoker and allow it to sit, still covered with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing.
