I stumbled across this on the interwebs and wondered which one of you is the intstagator? Sorry if this has already made the rounds...

 
I did one a couple of years ago. It was good, but not good enough to justify the extra work. It looked cool, however.
 
We did one last year, actually prefer the turkey skin crisped up with out the bacon blanket.

Not a real turkey fan here, so anything with bacon is good by me :hungry:
 
I have never done the full weave but for the past 4 years I have put bacon on the bird. I spatchcock it, skin it (yes, I said skin it) all but the wings and then apply rub, cover with strips of bacon on breast and thighs/legs, more rub on the bacon (light coating) and into the smoker it goes. Did a side by side taste test with a turkey done with skin on and not spatchcocked and the one without the skin was the winner.
 
That's crazy! I never seen anything like that. :shocked:
