The Secret Behind Kendrick BBQ’s Perfectly Smoked Turkeys

As we approach Thanksgiving, I’m sure your mind is on one thing and one thing only – turkey! Specifically, how to prepare the perfect juicy and flavorful turkey that will wow your family and friends.

Well, let me let you in on a little secret – the absolute best smoked turkey out there comes from none other than Kendrick BBQ. Located in Kendrick, Idaho, this small-town smokehouse is famous for their incredible smoked turkeys that are seasoned and smoked to absolute perfection.

I was lucky enough to visit Kendrick BBQ last Thanksgiving and sample one of their famous smoked turkeys. As soon as I took my first bite my eyes literally rolled back in my head! It was juicy succulent and packed with unbelievable flavor. The smoky, sweet rub they use simply melts in your mouth. Each moist, tender bite will have you rethinking every turkey you’ve ever eaten before.

So how does Kendrick BBQ make such mouthwateringly delicious smoked turkeys? Their secret lies in their smoking process. Kendrick BBQ smokes their turkeys low and slow over hickory wood. This imparts a rich smoky flavor into the meat that you simply can’t replicate with oven baking alone.

They also brine their turkeys before smoking. This keeps the meat incredibly moist and seasoned throughout. The brine is a special blend of herbs, spices, and citrus. It ensures every bite of meat pops with flavor.

In addition to brining, Kendrick BBQ perfectly seasons the skin with their signature rub blend. One bite and your taste buds will come alive thanks to brown sugar, kosher salt, garlic powder, and other secret ingredients. This rub caramelizes into an unbelievably tasty crust when smoked.

Once brined and seasoned, the turkeys hit the smoker for 8-12 hours. Kendrick BBQ maintains precise temperature and humidity control in their smokers to ensure ideal smoking conditions. This is the key to getting that fall-off-the-bone tenderness along with ideal smoky penetration.

The end result is a whole turkey that looks absolutely gorgeous with dark, caramelized skin brimming with flavor. Every slice of white and dark meat is incredibly succulent. Even after hours of smoking, the meat stays incredibly moist thanks to the brining. And the irresistible smoky flavor permeates every single bite but is never overpowering.

As you can see, smoking turkey perfectly is both an art and a science. It requires mastery of brining, seasoning, temperature control, and timing. Kendrick BBQ has perfected the process through years of experience.
