Servings: 12
Equipment
- 1 blender
Ingredients
- 1 turkey ours was 10 lbs.
- 1.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tbsp garlic minced
- 1/2 apple skinned and diced
- 1 1/4 tbsp salt
- 3/4 c apple cider vinegar
- 1 c onion diced
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 c brown sugar
Instructions
- In a sauce pan add all of your ingredients, stir. Allow to cook until apples break down. Then pour into a blender and pulse until mixed well but not completely pureed.
- When smoking a turkey put in at 240 degrees for about 1 hour so skin gets slightly browned. Then remove and pour enough turkey butter over the top so skin is coated. (make sure you have a baking sheet underneath it lined with foil or it will get messy)
- If smoking return it back, close lid and continue cooking until internal temp of meat is 165 degrees and outside skin with wet rub is as crispy as you'd like it. 30 minutes per pound is usually spot on for timing.
- If making sheet pan turkey follow our directions in link above recipe card but rub this sauce on each piece before putting it on your baking sheet. Add just enough to coat skin but not saturated and dripping.
