So, I'm jonesing for some Q, but it is a hot and beautiful day outside. Need something I can set and forget. I've got Johnny Guitar Watson tuned up and this recipe smoking NOW fueled by lazarri chunk and a healthy layer of plum wood - smelling up the whole house AND the neighborhood!
. I'll add pics later.
10 - 12 pound whole natural turkey $1.39 / pound
1/2 cup cooking oil peanut, olive or canola
1 1/2 pounds bacon
1 table spoon red pepper flakes
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
Remove backbone and butterfly the bird. Rub down with oil, salt, fresh ground pepper to taste. Wrap meaty sides of each turkey half with bacon slices.
Smoke grill, i.e. high heat, 350+ for 2.5 - 3 hours until internal thigh temp hits 180.
Remove from heat and allow to cool. Debone and slice. (Save those bones, gizzards, backbone, etc. for turkey soup!)
Add salt & pepper, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and mix into meat. Mix vinegar with water, sprinkle over meat. Toss gently to coat. Add more water if mixture is too strong.
