Tasty, Awesome, Juicy

I'm glad I decided to try this before Thanksgiving. My intention was to cut it up, have a taste of it to be sure we'd like it & freeze the rest until Thanksgiving. I don't usually leave reviews on food because everyone's taste is so different. But I couldn't help but comment on this smoked turkey. None of us found it to have a smoked flavor, or any flavor for that matter. And, all of us found it to have almost an aftertaste of something odd, maybe the smoked flavoring? I don't know, I can't really describe it, but all of us agreed it just wasn't very good. Glad I still have time to get a Butterball. On the positive side, it was very juicy, not at all dry, and, it's already thawed with a late December date, so that saves the time & trouble of thawing it.

Ok we bought one of these years ago and it was fine but we served one today for Thanksgiving and talk about being salty. It was a good thing I made lots of other stuff because everybody felt the same way and it wound up in the trash. At 40% sodium why is a turkeys sodium content higher than most hams.

I like it!

We had reservations about buying a smoked turkey but read the reviews and gave it a shot. This was one of the most flavorful turkeys without heavy smoke taste, the taste was just right. All of our guests loved it. And, the big benefit was not working so long to get the turkey in the oven and then losing a lot of oven space. Will definitely buy again!

We were hoping that this would be a good and convenient option for our family of four. There wasn't much to cooking it and the meet was juicy but the flavor was not good, it was way too salty. We decided to throw away most of the meat because of the flavor. It was almost like eating a ham but not as good.

This was the best Turkey ever! We will make sure this is a staple every year! We could not believe how delicious it was. It was moist! We did brush it with butter and squeezed and orange over it. We baked uncovered for 50 minutes and then another 50 minutes tented with foil! We are not disappointed at all!

Bought this fully cooked turkey thinking it would save me time in the kitchen but it turned out to be a big disappointment Once you get past the initial breast meat the rest of the bird is just a bunch of connective tissue. Next year I won't do that again, I will buy a regular frozen turkey and take the extra time to bake it myself. At least at the end of Thanksgiving I will have plenty of real turkey meat to share with family and friends

Very Good

I am a retired chef & have never cut corners on holiday meals. I am disabled now & was sick for Thanksgiving so I got 1 of these to try. I usually have turkey left over for gumbo after BUT, not with this turkey!!! It cooked so easily uncovered with basting in juices every once-n-awhile & a lil over 2 hours was perfect! Skin came out like turkey crackl'n!!! Smoky taste was not over powering & had a lil sweet hint on the back end. No seasoning or injecting needed!!! Moist flavorful & family fight'n over delicious!!!! In fact we've ordered & eat'n another since Thanksgiving & I ordered 2 for Christmas!! Others were right that Sam's should carry this 1 more often! It's a no brainer, clean, delicious taste'n, easy as can be Holiday Turkey MASTERPIECE!!!
