Camp Chef Turkey Cannon: Your Thanksgiving Game Changer

Looking for a way to revolutionize your Thanksgiving turkey game? Look no further than the Camp Chef Turkey Cannon! This innovative roaster not only cooks your turkey to juicy perfection. but also cuts your cooking time in half!

But what exactly is the Turkey Cannon and how does it work?

The Turkey Cannon is a cylindrical roaster with a hollow center tube This tube is where you add your favorite liquid, such as apple cider, cranberry juice, chicken stock, or even beer. As the turkey cooks, the liquid infuses the meat with flavor and keeps it moist

Here’s a quick rundown of the benefits of using a Turkey Cannon:

• Faster cooking time: Say goodbye to spending all day in the kitchen! The Turkey Cannon cooks your turkey up to 50% faster than traditional methods.
• Juicier turkey: The infusion process ensures that your turkey stays moist and flavorful, even if you forget to baste it.
• Easy cleanup: No more scrubbing away at a greasy roasting pan. The Turkey Cannon makes cleanup a breeze.
• Versatility: The Turkey Cannon can be used with any type of turkey, from small to large. You can even use it to cook other meats, such as chicken or ham.

Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of how to use the Turkey Cannon:

1. Set up the Turkey Cannon inside a roasting pan. This will catch the drippings, which you can later use to make delicious gravy.
2. Fill the tube with your chosen liquid up to the first hole. You can also add seasonings to the liquid for an extra flavor boost.
3. Lightly spray the cannon with cooking oil. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
4. Mount your prepped turkey onto the center tube. If your turkey is 10-18 lbs., place it breast-side up. If it’s any bigger (we recommend a maximum size of 20 lbs.), place it breast-side down.
5. If you cook your turkey breast-side down, remove it from the cannon and roast it breast-side up for the last 20 minutes of cooking. This will give you a nice, browned finish on the breast.
6. Rub the turkey with butter, oil, seasoning, etc. of your choice. You can also separate the skin slightly from the meat to spread some seasoning underneath.
7. Brining your turkey beforehand is optional. The Turkey Cannon’s infusion process already ensures a juicy bird.
8. For best results, smoke your turkey in a pellet grill. However, the Turkey Cannon also works wonders in your conventional oven.
9. Check our estimated cooking times to know how long your turkey will take to cook. Remember to always measure by internal temperature rather than cooking time. The turkey breast should reach 165° F per the USDA.
10. Once the turkey reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and tent it (cover with foil) for about 20 minutes. You can also place it in a cooler for up to 2 hours. This will keep it warm and allow the juices to absorb back into the meat.

But wait, there’s more!

Here are some additional tips for getting the most out of your Turkey Cannon:

• Experiment with different liquids. Apple cider, cranberry juice, and chicken stock are all great choices, but feel free to get creative! You could even try using wine or beer.
• Add seasonings to the liquid. This is a great way to infuse your turkey with even more flavor. Some popular choices include garlic, onion, herbs, and spices.
• Don’t be afraid to brine your turkey. While not necessary, brining can help to further ensure a juicy bird.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your turkey. This is the best way to ensure that it’s cooked safely and evenly.
• Let your turkey rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.
