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.
Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour; baste turkey breast with remaining butter mixture. Return to oven and roast until the juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast, not touching bone, reads 165 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 30 more minutes.
