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 Roast uncovered according to Cooking Schedule or until meat thermometer in thickest part of breast reaches 170Â° F. If breast is stuffed, center of stuffing should be 165Â° F. 2  Roasting time will vary if turkey is covered or placed in an oven-cooking bag. When the turkey is about â done, loosely cover breast and top of drumsticks with a piece of foil to prevent overcooking. 2  Your turkey is done when the temperature with a meat thermometer is 180Â° F in thigh and 165Â° F in breast or stuffing. 3  Lift turkey onto platter, and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
