Turkey Fatty for Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving coming up shortly in Canada, I'm thinking of trying a turkey fatty.

Was thinking of trying to find some turkey sausage, put some stuffing in the middle and making a weave of ham strips.

Has anyone ever tried this? Can I just use ground turkey instead of sausage?

Thanks, I might do the ground turkey with bread crumbs and egg next week to give it a trial run, see how I like it and what I think I'll need to add to spice it up.

I want to use ham instead of bacon since it is for Thanksgiving, but a good bacon will do nice.

And sorry, but I won't be adding cranberry, to me cranberry belongs after vodka, as in "Vodka and Cranberry please, bartender...."

I was surprised that a search came up empty, I figured it had been done before.

So, I found some turkey breakfast sausage, got 2 lbs and squeezed it out of the casings. Got some Uncle Ben stuffing and thick bacon. I put the sausage into a freezer bag with some poultry seasoning and mixed it up and flattened it out. Into the freezer for an hour or so to stiffen up and make it easier to work with. In the meantime, I made up the stuffing and allowed it to cool. After the turkey was stiff enough to handle, I rolled up the fatty, and made up a bacon weave. Slathered some agave syrup on with more poultry seasoning. Back into the freezer overnight.



In the morning, got the Mini WSM going with cherry and pecan chunks and preheated to 250ish.. Threw the log on and smoked for about 4-5 hours. Sprayed some cranberry cherry juice on when there was an hour left.

Took it over to my mums later on and it was enjoyed by everyone there..

Unfortunately it's all gone and I didn't want to pull the camera out at the dinner table. I knew someone would say something.
