Smoked turkey
I boned out a turkey, boneless breast & thighs the drumsticks & wings kept their bones. Next I made up a brine and soaked the turkey overnight.
I roasted the carcass celery, carrots, onions & garlic. That all got boiled down, so I could pick the carcass clean. Next I made a roux. I’ll add the roux to the broth with the produce. I use the hand blender to smooth out the gravy. The turkey on the Kamado has awhile to go. In the meantime I’ll finish off making the gravy. |

Nice work. Looks delicious.
I do something similar on a 22" Webber grill. I burn hardwood almost half way to coals. Wrap turkey in foil and place in a pan. Lay pan in on the grill. Open vents about 3/4 of the way. Let sit for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. |

Looks delicious! Have you tried 'spatchcocking' it? Spatchcock chicken is delicious!
When it comes to turkey, I prefer deep fried. |

I have a really nice Pit Jack injector. One has to be careful in the amount of salt injected onto meat. Since I stated taking the Semaglutide injection I have become salt sensitive.

Well The boneless medallions are saltier then I can stand as is my gravy. Plan B Sweet Baby Rays or look for a sweet & sour glaze. The gravy is getting dumped.

That's cooking. I should have iced bathed the boneless thighs & breast and done a water change.
I'm telling you that Semaglutide injecting has me real salt sensitive, which really aint a bad thing. I'n noticing it more and more. Like not salting my fries even more. my too rubs that I have used for years. When I went to the ER after everyone seen my finger they weighted me and I'm down 54 pounds since I started taking the shot. That reminds me I need to check in my refill. |

For the most part, we've gone to making/mixing our own rubs due to salt & sugars. If a recipe/batch calls for 1 C. of salt/sugar, we experiment with say 1/3rd C. first, then do a moist finger tip 'taste test', before applying it to the meat.
