    Turkey grill temperature

    Why should I grill a turkey at 325°?
    Why can't I smoke it at 225°?

    You can smoke at 225 ... but unless you at least finish it at 350-375 to crisp it up, the skin will be like rubber.

    Too, with lean meat, poultry breast for instance, lower cook temps mean increased cook times whcih can lead to drier meat even at minimum finished temps. The dehydration effect. Not as big a deal since the skin will help prevent too much moisture loss, but if you ever do a skinless poultry breast, you still want to go higher with cook temp for best results.

      Tried a chicken like that as an experiment (was cooking other stuff)...NOWHERE near as good as the 325 F bird. I have empirical proof on the chicken...not worth trying the big bird in my mine
