Smoked Turkey In A Sous Vide Tub

Costco Turkey In A Sous Vide Tub?

Somewhere, someone is wondering whether or not you can sous vide a Costco smoked turkey in its original vacuum packaging bag. This moment in time deserves more pictures, but there is only one regrettably. Please accept my apologies.
This turkey warming project is brought to you using products purchased at Costco, other than the water and the curious mindset of two pretty good amateur chefs. The smoked turkey was inside a hefty plastic vacuum bag and was inspected for openings and closely observed during the warming to ensure bag integrity during the sous vide.

The Process
The bagged bird was immersed in the sous vide tub at 8:00 A.M. The amateur chefs set the wifi controller at 160 degrees. The smoked bird was removed from the sous vide tub at 4:30 P.M. An Ink Bird instant thermometer was inserted into the bird’s breast through the wrapper and read 150 degrees. The Ink Bird was also inserted in the leg area and read 137 degrees. The unanimous decision was to remove the bag and carve.

Turkey Result
The turkey was hot and juicy.

Not a single person received remuneration for using these Costco products, and I doubt that Costco or the manufacturer will be sending anyone an endorsement check.

The Anova special is no longer available on the Costco website.

Addendum:
I forgot to mention that the manufacturer of this sous vide tub is a company called, Anova.
Anova has a good website and within that website is a section titled “The world’s largest sous vide recipe resource.” (https://recipes.anovaculinary.com) ANOVA can claim this title, and to be fair, it is ranked number one organic in google search engine results. There are other sous vide recipes pages, and you can find them in a Bing or Google search using “sous vide recipes.”
