Directions to Smoked Turkey Skin Seasoning
•Spray the entire turkey with cooking spray to help with color and to make sure seasoning sticks to skin. Season thoroughly with Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning
Then Inject Turkey with Creole Injector
•Inject the turkey, be sure to get the breast at least 3 times with Tony Chacheres Creole Style Butter Marinade
Preheat grill to 275-300 degrees and place turkey on back with breast facing up for entire cook, grill for 90 minutes and then rotate and cook for another 2 hrs or until inside temperature between 165-175 degrees.

I use a Green Mountain Grill Smoker, but any grill with Cave Tools Smoker will do.
Enjoy.
