I've smoked several turkeys. Put them on there with the pyllybone down, or bone them, truss them back up, and put them on there with the breast down.

I loosen the skin and insert globs (for lack of a better term) of butter between skin and breast and smoke it breast side up. Truth is I really prefer traditional roasted turkey over smoked or fried.

That's because you smoke it breast up. All the juices are in the backbones. A turkey has a flat place on its pyllybone that is made for smoking. You have to prop the feet up.

I've done similar to Bill ... I smoke like I would a brisket but I cheat by using a meat thermometer, bring center of breast to 165-170.
