Test smoked a fresh Amish turkey on the new WSM a couple months ago. Did it hot on the top rack without the water pan on a roast rack and it came out great. Was not concerned with making gravy at the time.
Turkey gravy is my nemesis. Have screwed it up on most oven birds I've ever made. So bad that I always buy some sort of backup gravy, either bottled or a dry mix.
Picked up another fresh 15.5# Amish turkey today to put in the brine tomorrow. Bought a big foil pan that will hold my roast rack and the turkey in the smoker, thinking maybe I can use the drippings to try making gravy again.
Any advice appreciated
