Step 1

Preheat smoker to 250°F. Add the turketta and cook for 3-4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 2

While the turketta is smoking, make the Teriyaki sauce: Combine the pineapple juice, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper and salt in a saucepan on the stove. Bring to a boil over medium heat while whisking to combine.
Step 3

Combine the arrowroot powder and water in bowl and mix until smooth. Pour it into the sauce mixture and stir for a few seconds over medium heat as it bubbles. It should thicken immediately.
Step 4

When the turketta has about 1 hour of cooking time left, use a pastry brush to coat it completely with the Teriyaki sauce. Continue cooking. There should be some sauce remaining for brushing on at the end.
Step 5

When there is about 30 minutes left of cooking time, place the pineapple slices directly onto the smoker grates. Brush with the reserved Teriyaki sauce and cook for 30 minutes.
Step 6

When it’s done cooking, slice into 1-inch thick slices and serve with the grilled pineapple and more of the glaze on top.
