Dinner Challenge: Night 11

Short post tonight because it's Saturday and I have a hot date.

Wait... I think I confused my life with someone else for a minute.

Anyway, I usually plan all of our meals for two weeks, but I dropped the ball this time and we were stuck with two days of nothing, which won't cut it in this house.  I decided to defrost a turkey we got for Thanksgiving and never used.  We smoked it...it was awesome.

Night 11

Smoked Turkey

I'm not posting pictures, I forgot to take them before we carved it and no one wants pictures of a turkey carcass, it's just nasty.

We rubbed the turkey beforehand with a mixture of brown sugar, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and chili powder.  It smoked for 3 hours and finished in the oven for 45 minutes at 375. 

Mason ate it with sweet potatoes and a piece of cheese.  Scott had two huge sandwiches; I decided to try to show some restraint after eating more than my share of cinnamon rolls yesterday and just ate the turkey with a little Dijon mustard to dip it in.  It was a success all around.
