What internal temp did you pull your smoked turkey?

I pulled mine at 160° in the breast with a 20 minute rest and think I could have gone a little lower.

I pull mine at 148 to 150. Then I let rest for 30 minutes before carving, or wrapping and placing in a cooler.

Yesterday I pulled at 150 in breast. Thought was at 169. Everyone said it was the best ever. 36 hour brine. Cooked approx 2 hours in the pit boss at 325. I spatch cocked the bird.

Pull between 155-160, rest for 30 minutes, enjoy!

Smoke at 275-300, approx. 3-3.5 hours on 13-14 lb. bird

Baste/drizzle when skin starts to firm up with melted butter around 2 hour mark

Regular whole turkey see above timings, or if Spatchcock, will cook faster

I pull mine in the high 150s for both breast and thighs. Smoke at around 240 or lower as needed to let thighs catch up to breast.

I pull at 150 degrees after 4 minutes at that temp. Then boat foil rest.

Whenever I spatchcock the bird, I no longer have the problem of having 165 degree thighs and 138 degree breasts, where my thighs/drumsticks are overdone by the time my breasts come up to temp.

My breasts were 155ish and my thighs were 165ish when pulled. Damn near perfect.

I smoke mine cut into parts so wings, thighs quarters and the breast get pulled at different times. Best turkey I have ever had.
