Thank you! Was honored to make the carousel! I never even thought about stuffing until it was too late...would have been really good with the meal! My wife doesn't care for it so could've been all mine!Missed this Ryan.
Congrats on the feature ride on the carousel. Well deserved for a great cook.
I always mix my veggies in the mashers.
Where was the dressing (stuffing)? My family expects dressing even when I do spatch cock chicken.
We don't eat turkey. Other is trying to collect enough drippings to make gravy
Puppies are so much fun .. when they go to other people. Reminds me of infants after I hit 60 ... 50 ?.
Thank you! I appreciate it!BH, Good looking bird and puppy!
Funny. My wife expects dressing with a poultry meal. The only time she wants gravy is for dressing, not the mashers.Thank you! Was honored to make the carousel!

I'll take her share of the gravy!Funny. My wife expects dressing with a poultry meal. The only time she wants gravy is for dressing, not the mashers.
Thanks Chris! It turned out really good! But thanks to this forum I wasn't worried...but it helped it was free and wasn't for anything special so there was no pressure!Excellent looking bird you did - yes sir. I remember I was nervous as all heck on my first attempt.
Point for sure

Looks amazing! What's creamed turkey? My wife always wants lot's of leftovers, so looking for good ideas!Our son was given a 10 1/2 lb turkey from work and he wanted it out of his freezer... so we obliged. It was already enhanced so we removed the backbone...saved to make stock , and injected it using creole butter, then into the fridge for an overnight rest in fridge to dry the skin. Really wanted to smoke it on my 22" kettle but thought it might be a little tight on space so decided to forego that idea and use my big fridge smoker. Got smoker going and took turkey out, rubbed skin with olive oil then some poultry seasoning and some Iowa flavor enhancer.

Smoker ran about 275 to 300. Used pitmasters choice in amnps. This is about an hour in I believe. View attachment 489292
Believe it took about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, wasn't paying that close of attention. Pulled when breast hit 160.

Skin was a little tough which I expected at those temps so ended up removing it and saved it for stock also. Served up with mashed taters, gravy and sweet corn. It turned out excellent! Breast was nice and juicy!

That's as good as my plating gets for this ole farm boy! And yes, right after that pic the corn got mixed in with the taters and gravy! Also made some creamed turkey over mashed taters. And yes, there are mashed taters under there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you! Creamed turkey is basically just making a roux with flour and butter then adding some milk and small pieces of leftover turkey so it makes a cream sauce. This can be served over mashed taters or toast. The same can be done with leftover chicken. Good way to use up leftovers!Looks amazing! What's creamed turkey? My wife always wants lot's of leftovers, so looking for good ideas!
Thanks Warren! Was really happy how it turned out! And yes, puppy is a darling! Good thing dad only lives a mile away so we can visit often! Thank you for the like, I appreciate it!Sorry late on this Ryan I've been out of town. But what a great looking post puppy and all. May be your first turkey but for sure not your last.
