Honey Chipotle Spatchcocked Turkey | Chef Tom X All Things Barbecue

Honey Chipotle Spatchcocked Smoked Turkey: Thanksgiving Can Be Different and Delicious!

Looking for something a little different this Thanksgiving or are you looking for a Turkey recipe that you can serve any time of year? Well, We couldn't wait to show this one! Chef Tom shows us how to make a Honey Chipotle Smoked Turkey. It's a perfect mix of sweet & spicy that can be served any time. Brined in a mixture of fruit juice and peppers and then injected with honey, butter and a ancho & chipotle pepper, once you add the earthiness of the smoke from cherry and pecan pellets, you get a combination that can't be beat. If you want to get away from traditional flavors, you have to try this!

Remember friends, the recommended temperature to cook meat for safety isn't just about the temperature but the time that the meat is at that temperature. The FSIS (USDA) cooking guide has the time/temp table in full but if you, for instance, cook poultry to 151 degrees internal and it's at that temp for one minute (58 seconds to be precise) then it's completely safe and FAR more juicy. Even if you pull at 150 the carry over will take it up even higher so there is no need to take it to 165F like they used to recommend.

Ordered the kit and did this yesterday on my Akorn Smoker. Everything came out great! Everyone loved the flavors and juiciness of the bird. This is a home run.

I have a couple of chickens to do this weekend. I was going to spatchcock them anyway, but I'm going to go this route with them as far as flavors. Looks great.

Tremendous work Chef Tom. This recipe looks so delicious and a nice change from a traditional Thanksgiving turkey. I’m going to try this on a 12lb bird and do another traditional 12lb fresh turkey of the family. The honey chipotle turkey with thick cut bacon will make great turkey melt sandwiches with the leftovers.
Bless you and stay healthy & happy through the Holiday Season and beyond.

I always smoke my turkey for Thanksgiving, the only problem I have is keeping the paper dry. Just to let you know I’m from the ‘60s

[blueenglishstaffybreeder]

Good timing, cooking a large turkey breast tomorrow

[craigpaige]

So what time are you coming over to cook mine???

[ericyoung]

Thank you for the tips, I'm doing everything you said just I'm going to use my jerk sauce and seasoning. Thanks again.

[asianangler]

will you still get drippings smoking it this way? How do you save or catch the dripping?

[Isaiah]

Can you do a video of doing this in an oven?

[loscrows]

So I don't have a grill. Can I do this in an oven? And if so what temperature should I do it on?

[chrispile]

Save me a drumstick, Chef Tom! Say.... when is ATBBQ moving into their new digs on West Central?

[PastorTom]

What is a good instant read thermometer?

[DubbleD]

You mention you cooked it at roasting temperature because of the chipotle. Why is that? I’m Canadian and while I do love chipotle flavour it’s not used a lot up here. I would have smoked it at low temps for a while then roast it. Curious to hear the answer! Love your videos man! Cheers.

Does it cook different on the pan vs putting directly on the cooking grates?

[Cadburystephenson]

Chef 2 questions

1. Is the amount of brine concentrate that you put in enough for 2 birds? Or would we need 4 bottles to 20 parts water?
2. You said 1 hour per pound in the fridge so if we have 2 birds we need to leave it in for 28 hours?

[brewster]

Oh wow. That's an insanely good looking turkey. Just found this year's Thanksgiving turkey recipe. Thanks for posting Tom!

[ULDragon]

Will it remain juicy if I left it to dry for 24 hours to get the skin crispy?

[shotsfired]

Could you inject the bird then let it rest over night for the skin to completely dry out? or is it better to just let it rest first then inject next day?

[BillCreasey]

If I wanted to do two birds at once would one work on the lower shelf? I'm assuming the temps may be different, might have to rotate top and bottom. Just seeing it may be hard to fit two birds on a pan on the top.
