It’s time to nail down that Thanksgiving bird and my Butter & Herb Turkey recipe will make you the star of Turkey Day! I started with a 17lb bird and allowed it to thaw in the fridge for 4-5 days.
First I brine the turkey for 48 hours. I use a bottle of my Malcom’s Bird Brine along with cold water…that’s all there is to it. The Turkey goes into a meat bag with enough bird brine mixture to fully submerge the bird. After the brine, I place the turkey on a wire rack over a sheet pan and let it hang out in the refrigerator for a couple hours to really dry.
I fired up my pellet grill at 300 degrees. I smoke turkeys at a little higher temp to help render the fat underneath the skin which helps it almost crisp on the smoker. I stuff the cavity with celery, onion, lemon, garlic cloves, an herb bundle and a stick of butter, then tie the legs together with butcher twine.
I brush the skin with melted butter and season it generously with a mixture of Kosher salt, granulated garlic and dry poultry seasoning.Place the bird on the pellet grill with a "Turkey Blend pellets" but pecan would work great too. After an hour I start basting the turkey with my herb butter - and continue to baste every hour.
I also insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part on the breast with target temp set for 165 degrees. Once the skin gets golden brown you can tent the whole turkey with foil. I reached 165 at about the 4 1/2 hour mark but trust your thermometer don’t go by time alone. Let it rest a few minutes before carving.
Butter Herb Turkey on a Traeger
- 1 bottle Malcom’s Bird Brine
- 2 gallons water
- 1 whole turkey
- 2 stick unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup granulated garlic
- 1 Tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 1 stalk celery cut into 2-3” pieces
- 1 onion quartered
- 1 lemon halved
- 8-10 garlic cloves
- Herb bundle (fresh rosemary, thyme, sage)
Butter Herb Baste
- 2 sticks melted butter
- 1 Tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 Tablespoon dried thyme
Directions:
1. Place turkey in a large meat bag inside a brine bucket or large container (stockpot will work). Pour the bird brine into one gallon of water and whisk. Pour the mixture over the turkey and add the additional water to cover the bird. Close the bag to keep the bird submerged and refrigerate for 48 hours.
2. Remove the turkey from the brine and allow it to drain. Use paper towel to absorb moisture from the cavity and skin. Place the turkey on a wire rack over a sheet pan and air dry in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
3. Prepare pellet grill for smoking at 300 degrees.
4. Stuff the cavity with celery, onion, lemon, garlic, fresh herbs and 1 stick of butter. Tie the legs together using butcher twine.
5. Melt one stick of butter and brush over the skin. Combing the Kosher salt, granulated garlic, and poultry seasoning in a shaker. Season the outside of the bird generously with the seasoning mix.
6. Place the bird on the smoker *tip: keep it on the wire cooling rack to make rotating and moving the bird on/off the grill
7. Smoke the turkey for one hour and then start basting it with the butter herb mixture every hour.
8. Insert a probe thermometer at the 2 hour mark to monitor internal temp. Shield with aluminum foil once the skin gets a golden brown color.
9. When the turkey reaches 165 degrees in the breast remove it from the pit and rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Ah, yes… the annual “however Malcom does it this year is how we do it this year” video! Thanks!
I feel this on a spiritual level 🤣
So right!
LOL Same 🤣🤣
Facts
Yup
If I ever come back as a Turkey I hope I end up in Malcom's cart. I know he'd do me justice.
😂
Lol!!!
😂💀💀💀
😂😂🍺
Your fate is sealed *gong crash*
If 25% of the world cared/ did their job as well as Malcolm here, the world would be a much better place. This guy is awesome
He’s making food lol
Amen brother
Malcom - never smoked a turkey before. Bought your brine and followed your instructions. Best bird I’ve ever tasted. Family was in awe. All credit to you. Thanks man!
I bought his brine. Did you rinse your bird after brining? I don’t want it to be too salty.
@@Vizslaluvr I used it last year and did not rinse it. Wasn't too salty at all.
You are engaging, informative, and funny. You make smoking such an approachable hobby. Thanks for continuing to put out great videos!
Well said!
You had me at "instead of using oil, I melted a couple of sticks of butter". Malcolm always delivers!
Right!! 🤣🤣
Hell yes! Preach!
This is what I love about moving to America from Australia with my American wife. The joy in this man's voice is something to behold. Guess what dude? I am going to smoke a Turkey! Ha ha! Thanks brother! Subscribed too!
Just do what Malcom says. It’s heaven.
This video is perfectly condensed. Not too much, not too little. Thanks.
Malcom is the only man who can eat food on RUclips and make the viewers taste it. Keep it up Sir! I reside in South GA, so I’m not that far! I think I smell your cooking actually 🤔🤣
Ain't that the truth!
I can't figure out who would give any of Malcolm's videos thumbs down, except for out jealousy or the fact they can't eat what he's cooking 😁
I was thinking the same thing!
Vegans
They must be turkeys - sorry, I'll show myself out.
Possibly people who are fans of other smoker RUclipsrs, e.g., Meat Church. We've seen others, but frankly, we love Malcom's personality the best. He's just an awesome soul.
This turkey would cause a riot in all 195 countries. What a phenomenal looking bird. I'd love to smell/taste this turkey. I'll just have to make my own.
Used this on a 22lb bird today and it turned out fantastic. I am excited to see what else the channel has. Thank you sir!
Shout out to Malcolm, followed your recipe to the letter and just wanted to let you know that was the BEST AND MOISTEST turkey we have ever had and first one we smoked. Thank you for being you and enlightening us with your knowledge and supply of spices, everything else. Thank y’all again Lee
I love this man more than words.... Every single thing he cooks is just heaven. I can taste it here all the way over in the UK!
I agree.
I did it! It came out AMAZING. The family could not believe the bird was smoked. Awesome classic roasted flavor, only super juicy. Use that thermometer and go for 165 on the breast.
Look no further when scrolling through how to smoke a turkey and come across a guy with a mean southern accent. Thank you sir!
Made it today (T Day!). Utterly AWESOME! My 16yo "I dislike everything" son RAVED. VICTORY!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Smoking Thanksgiving turkey is my favorite activity of the year .
I love it! He sounds like Bubba talking about shrimp in Forrest Gump lol - @4:56 "turkey sandwiches, turkey pot pie, drumsticks..." Malcom you are awesome! Happy early Thanksgiving and I am definitely following this recipe in two weeks 🙂
“I think I will” the pure joy in his voice I felt that 😂❤️
I made this Turkey today and it was amazing. Skin was crispy and the meat was juicy. It was my first time smoking a turkey.
Thank you sir
You are a blessing to all of us fans who have been watching you and purchasing you products over these past years. Most of what I know about bbq is from your friendly approach to teaching your craft. Thank you so very much Malcolm and Rachelle, you are truly good people.
This man knows his turkey.
My man! You have made my last 3 years of Thanksgiving the best yet and your recipes are a family favorite. I'm still using your recipe from 7 years ago (with the ziplock bag and cooler. I do it the same way!) but we fill the cavity with stuffing. Comes out great on my Smokey Mountain-18 inch. I'm looking forward to this weeks podcast!
I just want to know if your neighbors just walk out to the backyard, and just think to themselves, "this mother fer." :D
They jump the fence!
Lol, I know mine do. Everytime they smell my smoker they always ask whats for dinner. I always share!
Every time right!
I would be like "hey neighbor, watcha cooking there?...mind if I grab the end piece there?"
I live in a 14 room rooming house on the 1st floor where the main kitchen is located. When I cook, the house starts to move. I share as well. Yesterday was onion, portaBella mushroom, cherry tomato, bell pepper, Gouda cheese omelettes and maple sausage. Wheat toast . One person fed 4 people and I still had enough for my breakfast today. Sharing food is one of the most basic ways to show love and care. Be well!
Followed this recipe last year. Best turkey EVER. Fed 22 people and every bit of turkey went with people going for 2nds and 3rds
fantastic as usual...I always get some good laughs with the facial expressions and the one liners...thanks for doing what you do!
Just did this today for Easter for the family and everyone agreed it was the tastiest and juiciest turkey I've ever done! Thanks once again Malcolm for another amazing recipe and video.
I learn so much from you Malcom! Thank you.
I’ve got two turkeys in my freezer right now that I’m going to smoke and this is how I’m doing mine this year. Thanks Malcolm, your videos are awesome. I never miss watching them.
Everything Malcom makes is amazing. Thank you for all your lessons
Winner, winner Turkey Dinner. Wow, that bird looks wonderful !!

i just did my first bird like this,,, and it was a home run today ,,, thanksgiving. it was not dry ,, it melted in your mouth,, thanks for video😋
Malcolm, thank you. Another successful cook, and a happy family enjoying smoked turkey for the first time.
Thank you for this recipe. I used it this year for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. Everyone loved it. I did it for my family and my wife's as well. Thank you. Keep those videos coming. I'm always watching these videos for help.
OMGOSH, BEST turkey we ever made! The bird was so moist and flavorful. Definitely a labor of love, but absolutely worth the effort. Thank you!!
Two years in a row now that the family said great Turkey. Thank you sir for spreading knowledge!
Made this last year as my first time making the thanksgiving turkey. I'm now responsible for making the turkey every year. It was the best turkey I've ever had
I've tried your recipes and knocked it out of the park every time, keep being the Man!
smoked my first turkey last year using this video as a guide. coming from baked turkey never having a smoked turkey, its such a difference. i didnt like skin before. now i have to have some of it. one thing i add though is i inject a mix of butter-onion-garlic powders and cajun seasoning right between the breast meat and bones. keeps is super moist and flavorful as it can sometimes dry up against that hot bone. thanks for the video
Malcolm, I started smoking meat about 18 mo ths ago and I have learned soooo much from your videos. Thank you for all you do.
Just have to say thank you. This was a winner for us this thanksgiving and everyone asked I do it for Christmas too. Thanks Malcolm
Malcolm, THANK YOU. Did you recipe for our turkey yesterday and it was amazing, sir. Appreciate this video very much. My folks were blown away by how good it was. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thanks again, man.
Malcom, always a pleasure watching your videos and being straight to the point. I started watching your videos a few years ago, now I have been smoking all different meats thanks to your guidance and being very informative. I am also a fellow Mississippian, I live in Bovina,MS about 5 miles from Vicksburg. I have been using your Killer Hogs rub for pork butts and they always come out with a great mahogany color and the taste is fine. I appreciate everything you do man and keep doing what your doing.
Thanks Malcolm that’s a great recipe I smoked one last year with apple and everyone enjoyed it.
My goodness man you can cook!! Love watching these and just tried your chicken thigh recipe and wow!
Doing this for Thanksgiving. Looks amazing and can never go wrong with your recipes! Thank Malcom. My mouth is watering.
Game time tomorrow let's gooooooooooooooo
Perfect timing with this one. I just committed to hosting Thanksgiving with a big ol smoked turkey on the pellet grill.
Thanks for the recipe! Best Turkey!! Saving this recipe.
I love it when he’s tasting at the end. You KNOW it’s good 💯
Malcolm is the SAINT of barbecue! This is a righteous turkey-bird!
Malcolm made Thanksgiving dreams come true!!! This was the best turkey we’ve ever made!!!
This year our family was thankful for this channel!!!
Thank you! I made this today. Turned out great. Beautiful color, crispy skin, juicy meat. Very flavorful. Thank you!
Another banger vid with another banger meal, Malcolm never fails
I smoked a 11lb turkey following this recipe in my electric smoker today and it was amazing. Probably the best turkey I've ever had. Even impressed the in-laws. Thanks for sharing these videos with us. Happy Thanksgiving
Smoked Turkey is always amazing. Great video!
Just wanted to say I made this for Thanksgiving and it turned out amazing! Thanks again for the recipe.
Using this recipe again this year for a late Thanksgiving family get together. The Traeger Timberline is awesome for a smoked, moist bird.
Looking forward dinner. Thanks for the recipes, very helpful.
Hey Malcolm, I just want to thank you for this one. Made it today for a "Friendsgiving" meal, and it turned out magnificent, one of the best we've had. Hope you and yours have a fantastic holiday!
Did you rinse the brine off your bird before cooking or no?
@@zombie10slaya After the brine I just let it dry off in the fridge, but I did use some some paper towels to clear out some liquid in the cavity
That turkey looks like a Norman Rockwell painting. Can't wait to cook my turkey on my new RecTeq 700 pellet grill this year! Thank you Malcom.
try mesquite ... a light sweet smoke, it rocks
@@andrefecteau Thanks for the great suggestion Andre! I may have to try that and I LOVE mesquite.
I've got an RT-700 also and used it for Thanksgiving last year. It was awesome. Only thing was, skin was a little gummy. I took it out of a wet brine the morning of. This year, I will take it out of the brine then dry in fridge for 24 hours. Happy smoking!
@@kmb1 rub your bird w mustard, then bake, you’ll be stunned at the results
@@kmb1 Thanks, that is a great tip on the air drying. I will definitely take that approach and see if I can get a more rotisserie texture.
Malcolm is the real deal. He really does do it right. Dang!!
Followed your recipe last year and can't wait to try this one! The stick of butter in the cavity is going to be money! Keep up the awesome work Malcolm!
Smoking our first turkey for the office potluck and of course, you came through with clear instructions! Thanks for all of the videos. That bird looks delicious!
You know it’s gonna be a good day when he puts out a new video.
Perfect timing for thanksgiving dinner 🍲
You have the best videos Malcom. Thanks for the guidance for this year's turkey.
Awesome video! My first turkey smoke and you couldn’t have made it easier! Turkey turned out awesome!
I made this exact recipe for 16 people this year and there was not one bad for review. Not even constructive criticism when pushed. Even the guy who “didn’t like turkey” enjoyed it. And, if I do say so myself, absolutely the best turkey I’ve ever had, better than oven baked, oven baked in a bag, or deep fried. This man is an absolute expert, trust his recipes. Thanks Malcolm!!!
Thanks, Malcom!! Everyone LOVED it. My first time ever cooking a turkey. :)
Omg yes Malcom we are doing this for Thanksgivings ! Thank you for the tips
We are a crispy skin loving people. I think this will make my parents very happy!
Love your videos Malcom!
Your seasoning will be playing a big role at my families Thanksgiving celebration this year. Thank you!
Malcom is an American treasure, keep on bringing that heat boy
That one goes in the recipe box as Favorite !! Thanks Malcom. Fred.
Tried this recipe for Thanksgiving this year and it was amazing! Family asked for it again for Christmas!
Great job as usual! Perfect color too. Wondered why you had the rack upside down but when you spun it around it made so much sense. Will do it that way myself now. Thank you!!
Malcolm always making food that makes your mouth water
Smoke turkeys every year, but you always kick it up a notch. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
I cooked a turkey today following your recipe and directions and it turned out perfect! Thanks so much for the how-to videos, Malcolm - they are greatly appreciated! The skin on my turkey was crisp and the meat was juicy and very tasty. I will definitely be using this recipe again!
Did you rinse off your brine or just put seasoning right on like he suggests ? Not sure what to do.
Thanks for the vids Malcom - You've been one of my solid go-to guys and you've made BBQ a lot of fun for me.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Awesome job Malcom!! Looks amazing!
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THANKSGIVING !~
Malcom, you’re a smoke’n genius!
Malcom it's just fun watching your channel. That Turkey looks delicious.
Great show, Malcom!
Oh man! The exact video I was looking for and it just came out too! Awesome
My family loved the turkey when I followed this video and can't wait to do it again. A smoked leather boot would taste delicious soaked in that much butter.
Malcom, putting the bird on a rack like you did is a great idea. Thanks for sharing it with us. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Gonna be trying this recipe with my GMG on a rotisserie. Can't wait to taste the results!!
That's a turkey day keeper! Great job!👍
Ah yes. Smoked turkey 🦃 is the way to go. Can't wait to get my bird on the smoker. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Malcom! I have a 14.5 pound brining right now!
Malcom my man!! Out here killing the game!!
Dude....your a genius...a national treasure even....whole stick of butter, my mamaw would be proud god rest her soul.
Your yummy bbq advices went to middle Europe..
