Chef Myron Mixon's Smoked Turkey

Prepare the turkey by checking for pin feathers and removing any plastic.

Brine the turkey in a mixture of water, hickory smoked salt, and sugar for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Mix together a rub with ginger, cumin, mustard, black pepper, granulated garlic, hickory smoked salt, sugar, and paprika.

Rub the mixture all over the turkey, including inside the cavity.

Prepare wood chips by soaking them in water for an hour before grilling.

Place the turkey on a gas grill using indirect cooking with the soaked wood chips for flavor.
