Full Fledged Farker
Did my first smoked turkey yesterday on my new drum. Turned out great! We made a full thanksgiving spread, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, repurposed leftover jalapeño cornbread stuffing and corn. We feasted. Not going to lie, best thing on the plate was that cornbread dressing, holy cow it was stupendous. Turkey was good. Skin was a little tough but bird was moist.
I brined the bird, then let it dry out in fridge uncovered overnight. Injected with chicken broth, butter and Cajun spices. Rubbed with Cajun spices. Stuffed cavity with onion celery and apples. This was a loose representation of Malcom Reed’s Cajun turkey.
I decided to hang the bird used a hook that was intended for fried turkey it worked out pretty good.
Hooked, stuffed and tied...
Rubbed and ready to hang....
Getting there. I blasted the bird with some olive oil spray every 30 min...
Tasty libations for me and wifey. Rare breed rye for me and old fashioned for wifey!
Fired up the Primo for some pecan wood smoked dressing...
Finished bird...
Was very moist. Kids wanted seconds...
