Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default 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.

Oh yeah I did 2 spatckocked, the drumsticks were over cooked. Another reason for brining this one.

I like deep fried as well, but that for someone else to do.

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.
