1 If the internal temperature is low after 3Â½ hours, take your turkey off the smoker and finish it in the oven. 2  Cook the turkey to internal temperatures of 175Â° F to 180Â° F in the thigh and 165Â° F in the breast. 3  Your turkey may take up to 12 hours to cook.
1 A turkey breast should be cooked to 165Â°F. 2  If your turkey has a pop-up temperature indicator, it is recommended that you also check the internal temperature of the turkey and the stuffing. 3  Let the turkey stand for 20 minutes after cooking. 4  It will carve more easily.
