Smoked Kosher Turkey

[shap]

I am going to be smoking a kosher turkey for Thanksgiving to accommodate some guests. Per the Meathead book, Kosher poultry should not be dry brined since it is already salted. Does anyone know whether the results will be as good as a dry-brined non Kosher turkey?

I believe it will. As you said it is already dry brined.

I have read that it is salted and then rinsed off after an hour, so I wouldn't say it is actually dry brined. I wonder how much of the salt is absorbed. Perhaps it should still be dry brined using less salt. Any opinions?

Don't forget to use Kosher charcoal.

I've done a Kosher Turkey before and it was superior to the Organic 2x expensive pre order turkey at Whole Foods! Kosher Turkeys and Chickens really have worked great for my cooks.

I agree - great quality!
