It's "Turkey Day"...What's Cookin'? - Page 2

We had quite a spread, which is remarkable since it is just us and a couple of neighbors. Here are a couple of pics of our turkeys, which my wife took. She usually makes fun of me when I take pics of my food, but this time she was really impressed.

Here she is resting. Those thighs were really nice to slice, and stayed super moist.

I am sooooo full! Everything came out great. The turkey was very moist and juicy.

Turkey stock...

The turkey has a headache

In the Egg...

The top was a little dark, but the skin was crispy and the meat was very moist...

Cornbread-Apple Dresssing (was supposed to be Cornbread-Apple-Fatty stuffing but I forgot to put the fatty in

Did a number on my bird, deboning the thigh, seasoned with herb butter, will go very traditional on the breast and will make the wings spicy.

I have 2 fatties on the Egg and getting 2 pork tenderloins prepped with an Asian cherry glaze.

Sides are squash/sweet tater/carrot combo, green beans, mashed taters, three bread dressing and...for dessert key lime pie

Lookin' good Brother...by the way...I found another use for your grate lifter...lifting the platesetter on my BGE to toss in some smokewood.

It's not bad, especially for the price. That was my wine for the turkey and gravy. We went upscale with a nice chardonnay with dinner. My wife also bought a cranberry wine from a local winery and we had that when the chardonnay ran out.

We're all trying to get up enough energy for pumpkin pie, apple pie and apple crisp for dessert.

We're still cookin' here...The bird is on the EGG...the pie is in the oven...the dressing is waiting for the oven...the veggies aren't even started yet...but the wine has been flowin' for a couple hours now!

But then again...it's only 5:45 here and we have plenty of time!

"Punkin' Pie"...brought to you by my beautiful Bride...

Harbormaster · 11-22-2007, 08:25 PM

I'm waiting until tomorrow (company holiday mod).
I'm doing fatties, ABTs stuffed with cream cheese and cranberries, a turkey, and sweet potatoes.
Cos is coming down and throwing a chuckie in one of my pits. Oh yeah, 2 racks of spares too. 3 pits fired up.

And all of you guys, thanks for posting the pics. EVERYTHING looks incredible!

Thanks, and I like the fried turkey best when hot, but I like the roasted turkey much better the next day. Turkey salad, turkey sandwiches, turkey and sausage jambalaya, brunswick stew with turkey...

SmokeInDaEye · 11-22-2007, 09:09 PM

That all looks amazing! I cooked a chit load today including a double smoked ham and a maple brined turkey but all people could talk about was the bagna cauda...

JD McGee · 11-23-2007, 10:47 AM

Here's the finished product...

We decided to do our own recipe with pecan smokewood...it turned out great! Maybe next year we'll do Mad Max's.

I did a 17lb Turkey on the UDS beer can style. I used a 25.5 oz can of Labatt Blue. I poured off half the beer into a glass, then set the glass outside in the snow so the beer would get chilled. I used a simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to coat the bird. Drizzled olive oil on the skin and sprinkled seasoning on. started the UDS at 7:30 AM, got turkey ready at 8 Am, Put Bird on UDS at 8:30 AM. By that time the beer was plenty cold, so I figured, why let it go flat... anyway, on the UDS the Beer Can Turkey was done by 12:30 and rested for 40 minutes, we were eating by 1:30. That UDS is something else!
