turkey

Made my first smoked/grilled turkey for Thanksgiving - best bird I've ever made by a significant margin. I spatchcocked the bird and did a simple salt dry brine about a day before Thanksgiving. I decided to do an indirect grill set up on my old Weber Kettle, as I've read that the skin can...

Just wanted to quickly thank the brethren for the turkey know-how, as I pooled several tips and tricks into one successful cook. Started with a fresh 16 lb gobbler. Borrowed thirdeye's tip and modified his "halfcocked" approach, keeping the dark meat as is, but butterflying the white meat and...

I said in my Christmas cook thread that I’ve been away from cooking since the last week in October but I did manage to get the Thanksgiving turkey cooked on the kamado. As there was just going to be the 3 of us we ended up having dinner over at our next door neighbor house. (They were very kind...

So I have three days off starting today. I thought I would use tonight/tomorrow morning to get ahead in the cooking department. I'm not a fan of turkey as in the whole thanksgiving type of bird, but it's my favorite lunch meat for a sammie. The place where I buy my butts sells them in twos, so...

I'm trying to maintain my own New Year's Resolution to eat healthier and lose weight this year, but I can't stop cooking on the grill! I'm down 13 pounds so far :) This weekend, I decided to try some turkey burgers and kick them up a notch with some added flavors and the results were really...

I offered to smoke our annual Thanksgiving turkeys from my company for our small office on my Heartland ROT. Space is not an issue but... Now I'm faced with with deciding whether to brine or not, primarily because of liquid volume and space. I have 12 turkeys and wanting to make a good...

Names Joe and I'm not new to smoking but could always learn more. I love to smoke chicken and turkey. I prefer using a Green Egg but I don't own one as yet. I am currently using a Brinkmann Electric. It keeps a nice even temp and I don't need to baby sit all day for a great smoked flavor. I am...

This weekend I made something I first saw on the show Parks and Recreation - The Swanson: a bacon wrapped turkey drumstick. When I saw the episode with Ron Swanson eating it, I knew I was going to have to try making one. I brined a couple of turkey drumsticks for a few hours, then wrapped...
