  • Remove the turkey from the bag, and discard the marinade.
  • Apply the rub all over the bird.
  • Put the turkey on a rack in a large, deep aluminum pan, place the pan in the smoker, and cook for 5 hours or until the breast meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 F.
  • Remove the pan from the smoker.
  • Allow the turkey to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 30 minutes.
  • Then carve the turkey, and serve immediately.
