Biggest issue with smoking a turkey is that the skin never gets crispy....it actually gets a little rubbery.
The flavor of the meat is great, but I would argue you are actually better to take the skin off completely and let it smoke like that (skin only impedes smoke penetration). The result won't look as good, but in my experience the skin was a let down....
These days I do 2 turkeys: (1) Breast only (no skin) that I smoke, and then (2) Traditional oven turkey with butter and spices stuffed under skin.
Since I'm doing 2 I can actually just get a medium sized turkey for the oven roasting which makes things go much quicker.

I do the breast until about 120F then wrap in foil with stick of butter until 155 then take it off and let it rest (while cooking in foil turn it over a few times so butter flows everywhere)

Also a little sugar. Makes the turkey meat tender.
