A great blend of woods and seasoning to flavor a delicious moist turkey.

I'm not sure why, but I have to finish Thanksgiving before I can embrace the Christmas festivities. In the past, I would only start decorating for Christmas the day after indulging in a big turkey feast. It feels like Thanksgiving represents the harvest of autumn, and only after autumn can we move on to winter celebrations. Seeing Christmas trees and snowflake decorations in November feels very out of place.My mom always said that a turkey needs to be at least 20 pounds to taste good; smaller ones dry out too quickly. Although things have become more Americanized here in recent years, and you can finally find whole turkeys in nearby supermarkets, it's still hard to find fresh ones that big. However, boneless, skinless turkey meat is easy to get, so I use bacon to replace the skin, and it tastes just as good.To keep the turkey moist, you must soak it in brine! Soak it overnight before roasting, and I guarantee it will be juicy and delicious!

Our supermarket gave away whole fresh turkeys for this Thanksgiving, and I got a twenty pounder. Usually , that is too big to roast in the oven, the breasts dry out before the legs are done. So I cold smoked this fresh turkey outside on the barbecue. Came out perfectly done.Made 40 portions of sliced smoked meat and 11 cups of gravy. Freezes well. Great cold for salads, lunches, sandwiches, and reheated with gravy for dinner. The leftover turkey carcass makes a delicious turkey cabbage roll soup dinner for four.#GlobalApron

This is often rolled and eaten as a hand food, the base does not need to crisp up completely. It can be eaten with any topping but usually is eaten with minced lamb as seen here. I use fine cubed tofu or vegetarian mince for me. The base is yeast free. Adjust spices to your taste

Every year I make a new poultry salad with Thanksgiving leftovers. This year we had a smoked turkey and a ripe pineapple was on the butcher block. It came together quickly and easily.

I wanted a baked turkey that wasnt dry and waaà laaaa! ! ;D

The best way to finish up that leftover turkey. This gumbo is full of flavor and is delicious over rice or without. The day after Thanksgiving and/or Christmas when everyone was tired of eating the turkey, my Mom would take the carcass and smoosh it into a large pot and cover it with water and let it simmer all day in preparation for the gumbo. Then start the roux. The base of any legit gumbo is the roux, which should cook until it is a dark chocolate brown color. #GoldenApron23

My daughter wanted to try her hand at the big bird this year so grandpa went and got his baby a turkey. Because im not comfy with her using the oven, she got to use an old fashioned table roaster which works quite well might i add. Her bird came out great.

This turkey breast was the best we have had smoked,. Turkey can end up dry if your not careful to take it out and wrap it before it's cooked completely through.We took it out at an internal temperature of 150, wrapped it well and the ambient heat cooked it to perfection, it was so juicy and tender. The spice rub is spicy, so if you want it milder decrease the sriracha and black pepper some.
