Lo-salt Cured and Smoked Turkey

[dreegle1]

Sorry Pops, It was just my family (wife and 5 kids), and most of it disappeared as fast as I carved it (Seriously...I turned my back, literally for two seconds to grab my sharpening steel, and a drumstick and wing disappeared". The term"no chewing required, melts in the mouth" springs to mind. Thanks again, best turkey I have ever had...including restaurants!

Pops, thank you :) Here is a pic of (part of ) our Christmas dinner...The maple syrup/dijon mustard glazed ham is still in the smoker.

Followed your recipe...but hot smoked it, with butter and bacon grease under the skin (I always fail with the skin...turns to leather, when I slow cook it) :D
