I brine mine the might before and the stuff it with fruit and veggies, season that bad boy and cook it on low low heat on the BBQ pitt.

How long did that take? I have a smoker but don't want to spend 10 hours cooking like a pork roast.

I just got a cajun microwave for Christmas. I know hens do really well in there. Turkeys probably do too

If you change your mind about the smoker, I got a great method that keeps it nice and moist.

here is the thread from the smoked turkey discussion at thanksgiving: smoke a turkey
it won't take 10 hours, like a pork shoulder would. you are smoking at a higher temp with the turkey (see the thread).

Might sound strange but brine and stuff with whatever floats your boat. Then cover the whole thing in a healthy amount of mayo and then season the outside, next cover the whole bird in strips of bacon. Low and slow till you get a good internal temp. Remove and toss the bacon and your bird is moist and ready to go. You won't get a mayo taste or anything it will all cook off and leave the seasoning behind while keeping it really moist. I also do this with speckle bellies.

Use one of those large roaster ovens. Season and add some moisture in the form of broth or white wine. You're welcome.

I'd smoke it. Usually takes me @ 7 to 9 hours to finish a 12 lb bird.

Ha you can eat it if you want, but the bird gets the bacon flavor wihtout having to chew on bacon thats been smoked for 8 hours.

Does the skin crisp at all? It seems you would have to continue to cook after removing the bacon.
You don't really have to answer as I would never use that recipe.

1 whole turkey
1 large lemon, cut into halves
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter or olive oil, whichever you prefer.
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Rub butter or oil over the skin of the turkey until it is completely coated.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and any other seasonings you prefer.
Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat;
Slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up, one on
Each side.
This way the juice from the lemon will release into the breasts.
Cover and bake for 30-45 minutes. Remove cover and continue
To roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes.
If you've followed these steps correctly, your turkey should
Look like the one in the picture below.
Bon Appetit!
