First Traeger Turkey
I’m so glad I got one for Father’s Day this year, and this Reddit has been a lifesaver for information before the big day. Turkey came out amazing. 15lb bird, brined in bird baptism for 22 hours, fridge dried for 12 hours, seasoned with Texas Sugar, cooked for about 3 hours at 250-275, and rested for 2 hours. Amazingly juicy, great flavor and smoke, and super easy to carve spatchcocked, rib cage and breast bone removed. Only thing I’d change next year is a longer fridge dry out time, it was still pretty wet even sitting on a cooling rack in the fridge.
