urkey loves smoke. Nobody has ever ruined a turkey
by undersmoking it, but many birds and reputations have been ruined by too much smoke. Smoke is a seasoning like salt. It is part of the orchestra of flavors, not a drum solo. Show restraint. Experiment on a weeknight, not on Thanksgiving. Suppress your testosterone. On a charcoal grill or smoker use a single chunk or a handful of chips or pellets. Just 4 to 8 ounces. On a gas grill, because it has so much ventilation, perhaps a cup.
