playing with some turkey

[in. pred]

found a sale so i jumped on one for fun. i took it apart and saved the breasts for sunday dinner for the wife. she not a fan of dark meat or smoked stuff so...... all mine!!! well my son will probably stop by for a chew later too. i seasoned up the dark meat chunks good earlier today. i just tossed them on the smoker with some applewood chunks. she running about 275 at the start here. i havent played with turkey much but ive done lots of awesome smoked ducks! so i hope my first try isnt too far off. id also rather have brined it in my duck brine for 48hrs but time didnt allow. so we see. time to start up a fire and set awhile as sun goes down on my hick RR town.

Have one thawed to cook tomorrow. Usually spatchcock and do hot and fast. Skin to die for.

flipped it over after an hour. she wants to run around 250 and thats fine with me. im going for very smoky end result.

contemplating what to glaze it with. the struggle between salt n sweet. lol maybe the teriyaki ginger sauce in fridge with some red pepper flakes in it?
