Smoking a 22lb turkey for Canadian Thanksgiving

[goosehd]

Turkey at 110f. Smoking the turkey until it reaches 140ish and then finishing in the oven to brown and crisp the skin.

@goosehd I'm on my way

[goosehd]

@derek111 please leave the snow there though…I’m not ready yet (mentally).

How much are you guys supposed to get?

[derek111]

@goosehd We got about 5cm, just enough to start accumulating. The mountains are sure getting it though. I still need my roof re-shingled from the summers hail damage. So hopefully we still have some fall sunshine left.

And Happy Thanksgiving!! Had our bird and some smoked ham yesterday. 🤌Time for some leftovers.

@derek111 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[goosehd]

Prepping for stock/soup…hands down the best turkey I’ve ever cooked. Super juicy and the flavour from the smoke was perfect.

Ready to pick the bones out:

Happy Thanksgiving to the nicest people on earth.

Elk burgers (10% beef fat)

[seawolf]

@GraemeE Oh, wow! Is elk really that lean?

[GraemeE]

@seawolf I don't know how "necessary" the added fat was but it was definately delicious

I think the beef fat is just what my buddy asks for as a standard for the ground portion when he has his post hunt bounty processed

I'd be very suprised if there wasn't at least a few folks on this forum who could provide additional insight....

[seawolf]

@GraemeE fat is flavor. You’ll get no complaints from me! Sounds delicious.

The sausage education continued this weekend. Since I do a lot of Texas style BBQ, felt like I had to attempt a jalapeño and cheddar link. Turned out pretty good, and learned some things along the way.

Nice! I've been meaning to get into sausage making for a while now. Seems like you nailed it

[Brodie]

@scarfmace You definitely should...it's been a lot of fun (other than the cleanup).

Thanks! Not so sure I completely nailed it though, but definitely on the right track. All the more reasons to continue making more down the line, to try and hone my skills.
