The plan was just to take the pressure off timing everything right for Thanksgiving, by making the turkey part easy. This bird was a big hit - super moist and tender. I Plan to get another for Christmas!

Buyer beware, tastes like corned beef brine, not fresh smoked. Very disappointed, turkey is over brined pink, and texture is rubbery. Very expensive mistake.

Well worth The price we reheated it in an oven and threw some broth in the bottom and tinted it with foil so it wouldn't dry out and it came out very moist and delicious

First time trying the turkey for Thanksgiving, the directions were easy to follow and the turkey exceeded expectations. Will be purchasing it again next Year

I went through a lot of trouble to get the smoked turkey because I live far from a Sam's club. I've never had smoked turkey and I wanted to try something different this Thanksgiving. Even though the turkey only weighed 12#, it was very tough and had lots of tendons just like a very old turkey. It had globs of strange looking fat inside the turkey cavity and under the skin, like someone put it there. The smoke flavor was really bad. I've cooked lots of turkeys in my life and this turkey was absolutely the worst. It was a waste of my $20.00.

Oh my goodness, where to start! I bought this turkey for Thanksgiving for my husband and I to have for dinner! It was a smaller one at a little over 4 pounds! Let me tell you, when I say it tasted so delicious, that just doesn't do it justice! It was heavenly! I went back to Sam's Club to buy more of them for me and for my adult children and their families, but they were all gone! How sad I was! I ask the butcher and he said maybe they would get more in for Christmas, but that never happened! I would be willing to pay double the selling price per pound if I could just find them again!

I have had fried Turkeys. I have had oven-roasted Turkeys. Outside of Turkey lunchmeat, I don't really care for any of it. It all changed today. I finally understand what Sinead O'Connor was singing about in "Nothing Compares 2 U." Look, I'm no review writer. I'm a dude who just enjoys food--and I can assure you that as long as these bad boys exist within the confines of Sams Club's freezers in the month of November, they will be a staple at my Thanksgiving table. Period. They are game-changers. They are foolproof, tender, juicy, tasty---virtually everything Thanksgiving Turkey traditionally isn't. Sure, they won't come with the stories in years to come of blowing up your Turkey fryer or forcing your in-laws to dump a gallon on the leatherized poultry from the oven, but that's okay. It's a time saver. This turkey was an absolute grand slam at our Thanksgiving. It was flavorful enough that everybody raved about it, but mild enough that those who didn't like smoked foods enjoyed it as well. Notwithstanding, as a fully-cooked turkey, it was so simple to reheat. I'd post a picture, but, for the first time in years, the entire thing is GONE. Buy this Turkey. It shouldn't even be a question.

I buy these smoked turkeys because they taste great are convenient and are never dry. They do seem to be cured and taste like ham, so if that bothers you, you may not like this. I like to pop these on the charcoal grill to free up oven space. They are fantastic!

My husband and I bought one of these Smoked Whole Turkeys early as a test run due to the mixed reviews. 3 weeks before Thanksgiving my family got a "pre-Thanksgiving" meal. Taste: 4 stars. Reviews were a mixed bag from my family of 7 - most of us LOVED it, but 2 of my teenagers (coincidentally the only ones who really like turkey made in the oven the old-fashioned way) did not care for it. Based on some of the negative reviews that appears to be a consistent theme as some folks seemed to feel it was too ham-like. But hey, I guess for us Spiral Ham fans, that's a good thing. However, this is definitely not a substitute if you prefer the traditional oven-roasted turkey. Prep/cook: 5 stars. For me (mom aka Thanksgiving chef) this was a game changer. I do not have a double-oven so trying to make a turkey, and a ham, and two pies, and all the sides always requires some interesting time management. To be able to cut down the oven time allotment for my turkey feels like a definite win (my 9.5lb turkey needed 1 hr 45 min oven). I didn't do it exactly to specs as the bag says just to throw it in the oven and heat. I treated it almost like I do the regular turkey - put it in a roasting pan with broth (water if you're cutting sodium), lemon juice, black pepper, sage (or whatever herbs you prefer). Cover in foil. Broil at the end for a few min to crisp the skin. Use the drippings/broth to make some home made gravy. Verdict: We plan to get another for Thanksgiving.

This turkey is so tender and moist it's hard to believe that it's really turkey! Smoked just right and the best turkey I've ever had by far! Sadly no longer available in my club as it's considered a seasonal item available only at Thanksgiving-not sure why. I went back to get another for Christmas or whenever and there were no more.
