Fancy meeting you here. Be sure and post some pictures of Spunky's Thanksgiving turkey with all the trimmings.

I'll be cooking some turkeys myself Thursday and Friday.

I just noticed he took down the group picture posted in conjunction with the Auburn game. The next morning must have been Hell.

Spunky & Friends Gourmet Grub Thanksgiving Edition



Beginning with a smoked ham injected with a marinade combination of mustard sauce, Worcestershire sauce, & BBQ sauce. Then covered on the outside with
the same marinade and sprinkled with Strawberry's BBQ shake-on seasoning. It will be refrigerated overnight and then put on the smoker tomorrow for not too long.

Next the turkey was prepared, a 12 pound bird injected with Stubb's Texas Butter and Tony Chachere's Creole Butter marinade. It was then brushed with Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold BBQ sauce and liberally sprinkled with Zatarain's Creole seasoning. It will refrigerate overnight and then get another dose of seasoning before it is cooked.

So for this morning the set up was a Masterbuilt Pro Series propane fired vertical water smoker, a Columbus, GA, product LINK along with a Masterbuilt electric cold smoke generator filled with pecan wood chips.



The ham purchased already smoked, was smoked further at 300F for 45 minutes before being removed from the smoker.





As for the turkey it was rinsed, dried and brushed with the Carolina Gold Tangy BBQ sauce and then heavily sprinkled with the Zatarain's Creole seasoning before being put in the smoker for about 2.5 hours @ 260F before being removed from the smoker. It was then placed in an electric Butterball XL turkey deep fryer filled with about 2.5 gallons of Riceland rice bran oil which has a high smoke point--higher than peanut oil. LINK.



As the turkey was already cooked somewhat it only required about 17 minutes in the deep fryer at 325F before being removed, sprinkled again, this time with a bit of Weber's Kick'n Chicken seasoning, and then allowed to rest about 30 minutes before serving.



Here's a YouTube link to a video describing the smoked then deep fried turkey cooking method. Smo-fried turkey
