I don’t actually hate Turkey but I’d rather have ham, steak or prime rib. As a child of poor greasy slav (shout out @YellowSnow) immigrants, I don’t recall too many Turkey dinners in our humble abode.
My sister and her hubby always bring a smoked turkey for thanksgiving and a smoked prime rib for christmas. If they didn't do that I wouldn't even claim them as family.

Smoking is for salmon, jerky, and things of that nature. Not for turkey.

Pork, beef, chicken, etc. Get your reads down!
You "smoke" a ham. You "bbq" pork shoulder or ribs. They both involve smoke but they are not the same.
Smoking is the process of flavoring, browning, cooking, or preserving food by exposing it to smoke from burning or smoldering material, most often wood. Meat, fish, and lapsang souchong tea are often smoked.
In Europe, alder is the traditional smoking wood, but oak is more often used now, and beech to a lesser extent.[clarification needed] In North America, hickory, mesquite, oak, pecan, alder, maple, and fruit-tree woods, such as apple, cherry, and plum, are commonly used for smoking. Other biomass besides wood can also be employed, sometimes with the addition of flavoring ingredients. Chinese tea-smoking uses a mixture of uncooked rice, sugar, and tea, heated at the base of a wok.
Some North American ham and bacon makers smoke their products over burning corncobs. Peat is burned to dry and smoke the barley malt used to make Scotch whisky and some beers. In New Zealand, sawdust from the native manuka (tea tree) is commonly used for hot smoking fish. In Iceland, dried sheep dung is used to cold-smoke fish, lamb, mutton and whale.
Historically, farms in the Western world included a small building termed the "smokehouse", where meats could be smoked and stored. This was generally well separated from other buildings both because of the fire danger and because of the smoke emanations; the smoking of food could possibly introduce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which may lead to an increased risk of some types of cancer; however, this association is still being debated.[1][2][3][4][5][disputed – discuss]
Smoking can be done in four ways: cold smoking, warm smoking, hot smoking, and through the employment of a smoke flavoring, such as liquid smoke.[6] However, these methods of imparting smoke only affect the food surface, and are unable to preserve food, thus, smoking is paired with other microbial hurdles, such as chilling and packaging, to extend food shelf-life.[6]
They're called smokers when smoking a brisket, etc. Take this cultural appropriating smoked salmon to the 'Wam.
They were "smoking" hams in Virginia in a smoke house a hundred years before they started barbequing briskets in Texas. They even have a separate Wikipedia page on barbecue.
BBQ turkey, marinated overnight in tequila. My wife pulled this off several years ago when we were in San Jose del Cabo with a bunch of friends over thanksgiving…as goofy as it sounds, it was fabulous…

Nah it doesn't come out anything like smoked meats you mentioned. It gets a paper thin crust with minimal smokie flavor, and the rest is just perfectly tender, melt in your mouth turkey. It's amazing.
Because the word Barbecue has become so bastardized, both in noun or verb form (It is NOT a cookout and it is NOT what you do to grill hamburgers), I use Smoke to make it clear of the action I am taking to cook my meat.
Poultry may not capture as much smoke flavor as pork and beef when Barbecuing/smoking but it’s still the best way because of how juicy it comes out and the flavor of the gravy.

Deep frying is second for Turkey.
It's just a shame how bastardized the words have become. Drives me nuts when people say they are "smoking" some ribs. It's not smoking. It's BBQ. Just as you don't BBQ steaks, brats, burgers, etc.
I had an uncle who used to do a nice in-direct heat smoked barbeque turkey on a Weber.

I see the issue here.
They slow roast it in their smoker. Whatever that is called is what I like.
