What wood? Inject? Temp to smoke at? Rub? Binder? Let me know what y’all do please. Everyone hates dry Turkey. Thanks in advance

Brine, inject and rub this time around. I usually don’t use a water pan but considering it this time maybe with some water and apple juice or beer.

Use a big easy oil less fryer.

Granted it’s for a breast, not whole turkey, but should work the same. https://www.traeger.com/recipes/traeger-brined-smoked-turkey-breast I did this and rubbed with spicy danos. Smoked on fogo on the egg. Best one I’ve done. Guests were happy.
