Yes, the herb butter helps with that. But if you notice, we do not tent the turkey while smoking it. That way, the skin gets nice and golden brown, the way we like it. Also, I say in the steps to place the turkey on the rack. When your turkey is in a bath of liquid, the skin stays soggy. So right on the rack is best! If the skin still doesn't get as crispy as you like, you can pop the turkey breast skin side down on a preheated grill for a few minutes to crisp it some more.
