On Thursday I smoked a turkey for my neighbors party, Saturday rolls around and my family is in town so it is round 2.
Menu for the feast
13lb Turkey - brined in PatioDaddio Ultimate Turkey Brine
5lb Beef Bottom Round - rubbed in Oakridge Black Ops (didn't make the photo ops)
Acorn squash soup w/ chipotle toasted sunflower seeds
Green Bean Casserole (only the french onions weren't homemade)
Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Mashed potatos
Smoked Mac and Cheese
Apple, sausage and mushroom dressing
Cranberry and Orange Sauce
Brussell sprouts w/ bacon and ACV and brown sugar
Kale, persimmon, and sunflower salad w/ pomegranite vinegarette
Pandesal (filipino dinner rolls)
Encimada (filipino buttered and sugared brioche rolls)
Milkyway Cake
Pumpkin ale cake
I brined the bird for 24 hours. Then drained and let sit in the fridge uncovered for overnight. I pulled it out and made a compound butter of salt, pepper, onion powder, sage, thyme and rosemary. I ran my hand between the skin and meat of the bird to separate them. I then spread a layer of butter between the skin and meat of the turkey and then did a layer onto of the skin. The cavity was stuffed with rosemary, thyme and sage.
The bird went on my UDS for approx 3hrs 15mins at 325 degrees w/ peach wood. I dont have any shots of the bird coming off the pit unfortunately. However I do have shots of the carved up bird. If you look at any of my previous threads on cooking poultry, you know I love to break down the bird completely and serve it up in style.
Green bean casserole my sister made. I don't have the recipe or I would share.
Acorn squash soup with the chipotle toasted sunflower seeds.
Cranberry and orange sauce w/ turkey gravy and a little corner for the smoked mac and cheese.
Smoked mac and cheese; sausage, apple, mushroom stuffing; roasted garlic and rosemary mashed potatoes.
Kale salad w/ persimmons, red onions, sunburst tomatoes, and toasted sunflower seeds.
Pandesal (filipino dinner rolls), chesnuts, pomegranite vinegarette, salad and soup.
Green bean casserole, brussel sprouts w/ bacon and emcimada (filipino brioche rolls w/ butter and sugar)
Completely assembled (minus the roast beef) Milkyway cake was on the top and the leftover Pumpkin Ale cake from thursday was on the bottom corner.
Fat Kids Plate.
It was great to cook up a meal for my parents, sister and her bf, my gf, and my roommates. Leftovers were plentiful, but almost finished off! Thanks for lookin.
