turkeys an chickens

Former Member

Going to smoke two 4 lb cickdens and two 14 lb, turkeys tomorrow. Cooking the chickens to abt 140 as they are going into dressing. Taking the turkeys to abt 150 as they will be sliced and reheated. This will be my first time on turkeys. Looking for suggestions as to cooking temp and approx. time. Thanks

Me, I would cook both to 160 even though you're theoretically out of the danger zone above 140. The final reheat should be 165 or higher.

I'm never too careful when it comes to poultry.

140 is a minimum safe temp for holding, not a baseline temp for poultry.

I would take it to at least 150 to 155.
