I followed these directions and I can honestly say after 30+ years of cooking turkeys this one was the best I’ve ever made. Thank you very much. I will never be too old to learn and listen.
Pro Tip: Invest in a good set of Pruning Shears. Pruning Shears, will give you a little more muscle. The Texas Sugar BBQ Rub is excellent on pulled pork.
Wrap your shaker in plastic wrap before use. That way you can use it with your messy glove hand, and just discard the plastic when you’re done, rather than taking gloves off and on.
We used the Bird Baptism brine overnight, used the Duke's Mayo binder idea, then 3-layer rub (Gospel, Pecan "Deez Nuts, and top with Teax Sugar). Simple butter base with some thyme, 225 Super Smoker 4 hours on a spatchcock 12 lb bird. Thanks for all the tips and the great rubs! Juiciest bird I've ever cooked.
Just finished up Thanksgiving with the family and it was a complete success after using your birdbath brine and injection, the holy gospel rub, butter basted, spatchcocked and Alabama white sauce for the first time ever. Instant classic that will be getting made every year from now on! Thanks fir the videos and supplies!
Thank you for addressing the “is it ok to brine a pre-brined store bought turkey?” question. Malcom Reed said it was ok to and now you. All the confirmation that I need. Have a great holidays everyone.
I second this! Nothing wrong with using a short cut on Thanksgiving when it doesn't affect the final outcome. I mean, we don't raise the turkey or pull out the feathers either.
I have been brining pre-bined store bought turkey's for years and never had an issue. So I agree. I was a professional cook for almost 2 decades before health issues made me change careers. I still love to cook I just can't do it for a living any more!
Have spatchcocked a ton of times. This was the first that I have seen of how to remove the breast bone. The family will love it that way. Great video as always!
Came back to say that the Bird Baptism brine and Texas Sugar did make one of the best turkeys I've every cooked. Ran just over 300 degrees and it was ready quicker than I expected, especially since I didn't spatchcock it. It rested for about 2 hours, wrapped in foil and in a cooler with towels. When it came time to carve, the meat was super juicy and tender and had just a hint of smoke from the apple wood. This was the first time I've used a commercial brine since I usually make my own, but this was so good I am going to use it anytime I need to do a turkey. May do a couple of whole chickens with it also. Great stuff.
I made this for my family this Thanksgiving, and it was a huge hit. People especially commented on how much they liked the slightly sweet notes of the bird. This was super easy and definitely a keeper.
A while back you had asked for recipe ideas. My new favorite thing is to smoke a chuck roast with Holy Cow! It is so amazing. Cheap cut, readily available, and so easy! Better than Brisket! Just a thought.
Thank you for these videos and brines. You've been an amazingly huge help when I started out BBQ-ing and smoking and has allowed me to spread my wings far and make amazing dishes
I had an early thanksgiving meal at our house this year. I used your bird brine and spatchcocked it, based on your previous videos, and seasoned it with honey hog. It is hands down the best bird I've ever made. My guests raved about it, and my in-laws (who are also bbq enthusiasts) are now inspired to try it for their turkey day event. Love all of the info and content. Thanks!
Love it! Do you do gravy at all? My family likes a savory turkey so do the garlic and herb blend but would love to try the honey hog or sweet heat. I just don’t know how sweet those will make the turkey at the end..
Have down the best turkey I've made in my entire life. Gorgeous, juicy and immensely forceful. Already had leftovers and it might be better cold out of the fridge. Thank you for the recipe and thank you for the videos and thank you for all the spices!
Followed your recipe with your brine, Honey Hog and Voodoo seasoning for Thanksgiving. My In-Laws said it was the best turkey they have ever had!! Thank you for the tips!!!
Love your content Matt, as well as your products! Your videos are great - especially your side comments ("this is oddly satisfying") which are hilarious! Always entertaining, but, informative and helpful - very much appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Great video again Matt! We have used Texas Sugar the last two years and have never been disappointed with the results! Love the product and your content!
I used this in my cabinet smoker with cherry wood chips and it came out amazing. The brine and Texas sugar are nice combo great flavor and very juicy. Definitely recommend getting the poultry shears.
Just to let you know that I did everything that you have showed on this video yesterday and my Turkey was a success everybody loved it thank you so much😎❤
I used Traeger Turkey Brine/Rub kit, brined for 24 hours in the garage refrigerator (using brine bag in 5 gallon Homer bucket) using a store bought ~14lb organic turkey that was "pre-brined" already. I then patted it dry and let it sit in the frig for 12 hours to dry out the skin a bit as I do want crispy skin. Used sea-salt based normal butter as my binder w/turkey rub embedded it it under the skin and on top of the skin. Then used the Turkey rub all over (Spatchcocked turkey of course) and let it rest at room temperature for about an hour. Put the turkey on a bed of celery and Rosemary on a wire rack with large, high sided pan under it, filled with room temperature apple juice. Also put some more butter in the bottom of the pan. Following the Traeger directions on the turkey rub kit, ran the smoker (Pitt Boss PB1100) on "Smoke" setting with smoke tube going using the same Competition Blend pellets as well for 30 minutes and cranked up temperature to 200°F for 1.5 hours (w/Meater+ inserted). Then cranked up the temp to 325°F to roast the turkey and crisp up the skin. Spritz'd the skin with apple juice every 30 minutes and alternating that with melted butter baste till Meater+ says it reaches 160°F, pull and let rest for one hour covered with towels (slightly tented off skin with foil on top of wood stakes to keep skin crispy) then cut it up and serve.
Just Ordered the brine and rub love your holy cow and holy gospel we are excited to try these. Crossing our fingers that it shows up in time for thanksgiving but its understandable if it doesn't.
Thanks so much- another successful accolade!!! Followed you recipe with the mayo rub - slapped it on the Traeger and it was Smokey and Moist!!! Best one i have ever made !!! Thanks !
I'm smoking a whole turkey today and I always like watching a Meat Church video just to remind myself of the basics. I actually bought this brine and the turkey has been in there since yesterday afternoon. I don't think I'll spatchcock it, but I am going to use the Texas Sugar rub all over the outside. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thanks Matt! Another great video. You are correct about the timing of getting seasoning and baptism brine. The brine particularly will disappear quickly in local stores also. I always gettem early. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Matt!
I always look to your page for my smoked Turkey. I brined it in the Bird Bath and used the honey BBQ. I am just waiting for the bird to hit the 160 internal mark. I also used your Maple, sugar and bourbon glaze. YUM. Thank you Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm new to the channel. You came recommended. I bought the brine kit from a local supplier. Can't wait to try it! I always brine my turkey but I've never spatchcocked a turkey so that will be new this year. Happy Thanksgiving to all and happy cooking!
Gotta say I really appreciate you being careful with the cross contamination. There are so many cooking videos on RUclips where the person will handle raw meat and with the same hand handle their seasoning and tools without cleaning their hands
Using this for the bird this year. I have done spatchcock smoked turkey with cherry a different way before. Love cherry on turkey. Really looking forward to doing this. Ordered my brine and rub today!
Matt of course another rave review. I got a fresh turkey for the first time big difference, the smallest size was 15lbs. Always use the bird brine think I have 5 pouches in inventory. Brined in my bucket with some peppercorns probably two table spoons and a sliced heritage naval orange. I knew once I took it out of the brine bucket after 12 hours, it was going to be the best turkey that I have ever made. I could not get that dam bone out in between the breast however. Just the best turkey that I have ever made on the Yoder smoker. Getting another one tomorrow while the sale is going on, I am going to do the same method then break down the turkey and freeze shredded turkey, stuffing , gravy and green chili slice burritos for work lunches are you kidding me right now.. Oh smoked at 275 with pecan and cherry 50/50..Use Teas Sugar rub
Last year I learned about doing Spatchcock chicken and I really love how that turns out, so now, I watch your video as I am thinking of doing my Christmas turkey that way this year. I love your idea of removing the breast bone. Thanks so much for sharing your way of doing this.
Matt - I saw you driving down the interstate, I presume back home, with your Meat Church offset on Saturday the 11th. I'm pretty sure the fire was still smoldering because it smelled fantastic behind the smoker. I was on my way to Galveston but decided to detour a little to your shop where I got some Bird Baptism for Thanksgiving and a sweet T-shirt. Thanks again for all the videos and great ideas!!
This is the one! Got my brine last week and a fresh bottle of Texas Sugar. Love your channel and have tried many of your recipes. Looking forward to this one.
Great Video. Brining will even out the salt always! If the turkey has more than the brine it will even out with the solution. If the turkey has less it will even out. The whole process is about evening out the solutions.
@MeatChurchBBQ I do a lot of low an slow with them 2 rubs sometimes I mix the 2. But I use pecan a lot, and my pork butts turn out great with your rubs.
I think this turkey was pretty great, I did it this year! It definitely beats a normal oven roasted bird. As far as the best turkey I've ever had, that would have to be the one from Chef Eric Gephart from Kamado Joe when he does the "Hill Country Hot Turkey". I did enhance his bird with a lil Gospel seasoning though!
I feel that "consider shipping times" comment was directed at me. Lol. I had initially ordered my brine off amazon and didn't realize the date it was arriving was after Thanksgiving. So i ordered off your website and asked customer support if i can get it expedited quicker. Then not more then a few hrs later, i get a notification from Amazon that my brine is coming in the 18th. 😅 so now i got two brines with the 2nd on its way from meat church. Can't wait to get my turkey smoked up Thursday!
I feel you, brother. I like turkey, but this year I'm seriously considering a slab of spare ribs or some beef dino ribs. Of course, sourdough sage stuffing, poblano cheddar mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc. You can break the cook up over a few days and just put it all together at the end.
I think this year is going to be the best turkey that I've made. I have cut corners in the past where I didn't brine or remove the breast bone or pull back the skin to season. No cutting corners this year for me. Also, my local Ace hardware has the brine in stock so I'll be picking that up today as well as container to put it in.
Happy Thanksgiving! My friend Chris and I watched a couple of your videos, and we developed an idea to do the Turkey Double Rub (aka the Dub Rub). This was based on your prior brisket videos that use Holy Cow / Holy Gospel 2:1 ratio. We bought Texas Sugar and Honey Hog and did the 2:1 ratio - best turkeys we every smoked, and we did ours independently. I can imagine doing another Dub Rub with Texas Sugar base with Honey Hog Hot if people want an extra kick. Anyway, we’d love a shout out on your RUclips channel to Chris and Greg in the ATL, aka HOTlanta, if you ever use this trick. We love your channel!
I smoke turkeys year round. My last bird I brined, seasoned with Holy Voodoo and before I put it on my pellet smoker, I put it skin side down on my flat top griddle to crisp up the skin.
I just did this for the first time. It was hard because I used a knife and some normal kitchen scissors. I don't eat meat but 2-3 times a year. Only eating it now because my husbands new job gave him a large turkey for thanksgiving,. This was an experience. I didn't take that breast bone out though.
Very cool technique, have not pulled the breast bone before may try that... also my local ACE hardware carries Meat Church seasonings (thankfully) so will restock this weekend the Texas Sugar! Serving Turkey, Chicken and a Ham to cater to all the tastes of the family and friends coming over on T-Day.
Thanks Matt! We had a great Thanksgiving already here in Canada, hope yours turns out as well. That should be awesome if your switching it up with prime rib, in my dreams, lol.
I also take ribs out, too, on the bird, which makes it so much easier to carve up But tomorrow, i will definitely try taking breast bone out without a knife. Normally i cut it out with a little meat left on. Just a little extra for the stock. Videos are awesome
Great video!! I've been spatchcocking my birds for a couple of years, but just found your brining and Texas Sugar products....can''t wait to use them tomorrow. However, I don't have a smoker, but am wondering if I can season this exactly as you have, but then bake/roast it, rather than smoking it?
I'm sitting here watching Meat Church video before I start smoking turkeys tomorrow, it's a great day!
Same!
@@ngspotts same here
Same. Good luck and happy thanksgiving to you all!
Oh yeah!
It’s what we do, save cooking for the last minute !
I followed these directions and I can honestly say after 30+ years of cooking turkeys this one was the best I’ve ever made. Thank you very much. I will never be too old to learn and listen.
Amen brother
He ain't lying....best turkey you'll have. Your family will luv it.
Absolutely
Pro Tip: Invest in a good set of Pruning Shears. Pruning Shears, will give you a little more muscle. The Texas Sugar BBQ Rub is excellent on pulled pork.
I did this last year for Thanksgiving with a 15 lb bird and 8 people. There were no leftovers. They said it was the best turkey they ever had.
Wrap your shaker in plastic wrap before use. That way you can use it with your messy glove hand, and just discard the plastic when you’re done, rather than taking gloves off and on.
Then you can’t see his product as well 😜
Nice tip! 😊👍
Yep, gonna be doing that going forward too. Thanks.
Yep. I place the container in a ziploc bag sandwich and place a rubber band around it to keep it in place. 👍
Genius!
Better yet, wrap the shaker with a glove. That way you don't have to mess with cling wrap

“Make it pretty. You will be judged by your family”. Made me laugh. So relatable! Thanks for all the tips.
Big Facts!
I always just tell them to shut up and eat and be grateful!

He removed the breast bone, as well.

Apple woods sounds like a nice compliment for the flavor of the bird. Great combo.

Do you remember what temp your smoker was at and what temp did you cook the chuck roast’s internal temperature, sounds good?

Smoked 3 turkeys today using this video, same seasoning and brined them for 24 hrs fed 45 ppl it was juicy AF 💯🤘🏼🔥
Your videos are the best and the last two years I have received all the compliments. Stoked to do it again this year! Thanks!!!
The presentation was everything!
Love your content Matt, as well as your products! Your videos are great - especially your side comments ("this is oddly satisfying") which are hilarious! Always entertaining, but, informative and helpful - very much appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this video. I used some of the techniques on my Thanksgiving turkey yesterday and it turned out fantastic.

Very true. Amazon was out of this and Ace Hardware had ONE more left and I snagged it
Um, did you call my wife's drawers nasty? Oddly satisfying for me, too! I slowed it down and put 70s music to it.
Appreciate your recipes.
Just did this today & everyone loved it.
the Texas sugar was a good way to go

Hey, Matt! We’ve been using apple cider instead of water with your brine. OH MY HEAVENLY WORD!!!!!!!
Awesome tips, gents! Thanks and have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Is there a link or info on the poultry shears to purchase?

Then not more then a few hrs later, i get a notification from Amazon that my brine is coming in the 18th. 😅 so now i got two brines with the 2nd on its way from meat church.
Can't wait to get my turkey smoked up Thursday!
Turkey dissection sounds are awesome 😂
What a great looking turkey 😮 got me Drooling 🤤 😊
I make all my meals from you guys! I NEED a moose brisket recipe please!
I feel you, brother. I like turkey, but this year I'm seriously considering a slab of spare ribs or some beef dino ribs. Of course, sourdough sage stuffing, poblano cheddar mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc. You can break the cook up over a few days and just put it all together at the end.
I think this year is going to be the best turkey that I've made. I have cut corners in the past where I didn't brine or remove the breast bone or pull back the skin to season.

Hey Matt do you have a link for those shears? Thanks
Will definitely try the Texas sugar this year keep up the great videos
great video. I found your products at Tractor Supply just a mile from home. This is going to happen at my house!
This looks so tasty!

Thanks Matt! We had a great Thanksgiving already here in Canada, hope yours turns out as well. That should be awesome if your switching it up with prime rib, in my dreams, lol.
I also take ribs out, too, on the bird, which makes it so much easier to carve up
But tomorrow, i will definitely try taking breast bone out without a knife. Normally i cut it out with a little meat left on. Just a little extra for the stock. Videos are awesome
Thank you so much for the videos… Can you tell me what kind of shears you’re using when you spatchcock this turkey?
Great video!! I've been spatchcocking my birds for a couple of years, but just found your brining and Texas Sugar products....can''t wait to use them tomorrow. However, I don't have a smoker, but am wondering if I can season this exactly as you have, but then bake/roast it, rather than smoking it?
