Turkey Skin

[Garret Komjathy]

last year was my first year brining/smoking a turkey on WSM-results were OFF the charts. Turkey skin seemed a little darker than I would have preferred. Any suggestions/recommendations to keep skin from getting too dark from smoking.

Hi Garret!
Try less smoke-wood or a buttered cheese cloth.
Both tips from Turkey 101.

Butterball recommends covering with foil when you get to the color you want.

Thank you for the awesome suggestion regarding the cheesecloth. My turkey came out of the WSM looking like a work of art. I will cheesecloth every time. Perfect suggestion!

I really like that cheesecloth idea.
