These steps will help you prepare a whole smoked turkey. First, place the turkey in the smoker. Allow the turkey to cook for 30 minutes each pound. When it is ready, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, not touching the bone. Continue smoking until the turkey reaches 165 degrees F. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
If you prepare the preparation work in advance, your smoked turkey will cook quicker. You can get the best flavor by removing the neck and giblets. Next, remove any fats from the skin. This skin is very important in the smoking process because it prevents the meat from drying out. Place the turkey on top of the smoker's shelf. Fill the pan half-full of water or apple cider. Place a drip pan over the water pan. To add wood chips to the water pan, you can also use a drawer on the side.
Preparing the smoking pan is essential in order to smoke a turkey. Before you start using applewood chips, be sure to let them soak in cold water four hours. Now, you are ready to begin the process! You will first need to rub olive oil and spices on the bird's skin. Put the turkey in the smoker. Cover it by a lid. It should cook for 45 minutes, basting every 45 minutes. The turkey should be removed from the oven and allowed to cool to room temperature before carving.
The turkey should be let rest before being put in the smoker. It is best that the turkey be thawed first in the fridge. If the turkey is still frozen place it on a rimmed half-sheet pan or a roasting pan. Cover the turkey with foil, and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Pat the meat dry using a towel. Let it cool. Once the turkey has completely cooled, it is ready for serving. You can freeze leftovers in plastic wrap. Keep it in the fridge for up to 4 hours or overnight.
The best method for cooking the turkey is to use a propane grill. A smoker should be heated to between 225°F and 250°F. The turkey must be under 15 pounds and fully defrosted before cooking. Turn the gas burner on and set the temperature at 275°F. Next, put the turkey on top of the rack. Add the wood chips to your smoker.

How to make a perfect omelet
Omelets have always been a favourite food to eat for breakfast. How do you make them perfect? I've tried many recipes and different methods but none have worked. Today, I'd like to share some tips with you in order to make delicious and fluffy omelets every day.
We should first know that eggs are very temperamental ingredients when making omelets. They must be fresh, preferably from the organic market, and be kept cold until cooking. They must be kept cool, otherwise the whites will not form properly and the yolks may become runny. This makes your omelets look weirdly colored. If you're going to cook them immediately, it is best if the eggs are still warm.
Another tip is to separate the egg before adding it to the pan. Because this could cause your omelet to become curdled, you don't want any yolk to be mixed with any white.
You might burn the bottom of the egg if you place the egg directly on the stovetop. This could ruin the texture of your omelet. Instead, put the egg in the microwave for 10 seconds before putting it into the pan. The microwave heat cooks your egg just right, without it becoming too soft.
Next, let's talk about mixing the eggs. Mix eggs well together. To do this, grab the bowl of the mixer and turn it upside down. Next, shake the bowl vigorously. By doing this, the egg is thoroughly mixed with the air in the bowl.
The fun part begins - you need to pour the milk into your mixture. The first step is to pour half of the milk in the beaten eggs. Next, fold the eggs into the remaining milk. Do not be alarmed if there are still egg streaks visible. Once the omelet flips, these streaks will disappear.
After you have folded your eggs, heat up the oil on medium heat. Wait for it to get hot. Once the oil begins to heat, add 1/4 cup butter and swirl the pan to coat it. Now carefully crack open the lid of the pan and sprinkle salt into the pan. An additional pinch of salt will prevent the omelet form sticking to your pan.
Cover the pan once you have formed the omelet. Wait for the top to set. Flip the omelet over using a spatula or flip the pan upside down. Cook the other half for another minute. Take the omelet out of the pan and immediately serve.
This recipe works best using whole milk. Skimmed milk is also possible.
