I was skeptical when I bought this turkey, even with the great reviews. I felt fairly certain it would be dry since it's pre-cooked. I could not have been more wrong! This truly was the best turkey I've ever eaten and the price was right! Everyone raved about how delicious this turkey tasted at our Thanksgiving dinner! I hope to see it every year so I can purchase it. I even went back to buy another since they are a seasonal item and I know I'm going to want it again and not wait another year for it. You will not be disappointed!

The person who said they couldn't taste any smoked hickory flavor must have lost their sense of taste with COVID. The hickory flavor is full strength. It sounded good but actually eating it I realized I don't like hickory flavor in turkey. I like salty food but adding hickory flavor makes it too salty. Other than that the quality was good.

Best smoked turkey we’ve ever tasted, worth the price! It’s juicy not dry and you can definitely taste the smoked flavor in it down to the bone. Glad they have it this year again, just bought another one. Hopefully they will continue to sell it every year for Thanksgiving.

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.

Our family waits for THIS smoked turkey year after year. It's our family tradition, fully cooked and fall-off-the-bone juicy and smokie delicious. I have not slaved over a hot oven dried out Thanksgiving turkey in years. In fact we just bought an upright freezer to stock up on these all year. We have never tasted another turkey better than this. Sam's Club offer these all year please!

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!

No messy raw turkey. Very easy. Unwrapped, took out small plastic piece near legs (no instructions but just wiggle and pull hard), and placed in oversized cast iron skillet with broth. Baked 350 degrees. Ours was slightly over 10 lbs. Bake time approximately 2 hrs. We did longer and still was not dried out - very moist with the broth poured over as we carved. I purchased gravy on the side since this pre-cooked turkey (through smoking) will not produce same quantity of natural broth/juices. Average size in store was 12 lbs. I hope they carry this next Thanksgiving as well.

I'm glad I was able to pick one of these up this year. It's totally worth it! It's easier than making your own, and to be honest, it tastes better than most. The ones I've made, the ones friends have made, special ordered... this one takes the cake. Do yourself a favor and get one of these! We added broth to the bottom of the roasting pan and had it on a roasting rack. Ended up putting foil on part way through so it didn't brown too much.

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.

Sam's Smoked Turkey is an absolute game-changer! The ease of heating makes it a convenient choice, but the real magic happens when you take that first bite. The taste is truly out of this world, surpassing all expectations. What sets Sam's Smoked Turkey apart is its versatility. Beyond the initial feast, the leftovers become a treasure trove for creative culinary adventures. From sandwiches to soups, stews, and snacks, every dish benefits from the rich, smoky flavor of this turkey. It's not just a meal; it's an investment in your taste buds. While it may be a bit pricier than some alternatives, the quality and deliciousness make it worth every penny. Sam's Smoked Turkey has earned its spot as a must-have in my kitchen. Highly recommended for a mouthwatering experience that keeps on giving!
