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.
