  W.E., that looks good. I love smoked turkey, but I'm not allowed to have on on Thanksgiving, but do them throughout the year.

  that's one hell of a good looking bird...
  i just smoked a turkey breast...
  real low fire for about 3 hours...
  seasoned cajun style and basted with beer at intervals....
  
  we shared ours with the main bird for the soirée with friends....

  Went to a dinner party for Thanksgiving so next weeks main mission is to find a great deal on a bird to brine and smoke in the coming weeks.

  I just ate a leftover turkey sandwich from the bird in the OP. Might have been better than when I first cut into it.

  ......babysitting the smoker. About 20 pounds. Five hours. Apple and hickory wood. It was delicious.
  
  

  
  What kind of smoker and what cooking temp? I brined and smoked one and it did not turn out very well. Still looked raw, but I actually cooked it too long. (175 degrees internal) Very dry.

  five hours about 1.5 quarts of water, added wood chips five times thermometer said 165-ish. I couldn't get to the recommended 170 degrees. The thighs could have used a bit more time/temp but the breasts and drumsticks were perfect and moist.
