Happy Thanksgiving everyone,hope your day was great!
Mine was a little busy.My neighbor(the one who puts on the horseshoe tourney),another friend of mine we call "chefboyareyoukidding" and myself put out a little spread for those here in The Harbor(as the locals call it)for those who have no family to be with.
Had about 20-25 people stop by and it's a good thing.We cooked 2 beer can turkeys,deep fried 2 more,did the obligatory 1 in the oven and 2 hams with all the fixins.Turned out pretty good!
I couldn't get too much pron(as I was practically by myself most of the day) but here's what I did get.
Here's the 4 turkeys,roughly 13 pounds each.
I injected the 2 beer can turkeys with Cajun injection Creole butter and used a couple 25 oz Bud Lights for the beer and sprinkled it with some homemade "MAGIC DUST".
Tried to get a shot of the "Pink Elephant" neon sign inside the "bar".Guess I should have turned my phone settings to night time,might've come out better,but hey,at least you can see me representing Smoker Builder with this cool T-shirt(thank you frank!)
Here's one of the beer can turkeys.Can you say MOIST!
HERE'S A DEEP FRIED ONE.mOIST,BUT NOT LIKE THE BEER CAN ONES.aS i SAID THEY WERE ROUGHLY 13 POUNDS,SO i COOKED THEM FOR 45 MINUTES EACH.
Fried turkey on the right,oven cooked in center ans beer can on the left.
Smaller ham on the right,larger one on the left.
The whole shebang.
Again,hope everyone had a great day and DANG I can't wait for lunch.Saved me a couple pieces of beer can turkey.
BTW-had you ever tried a beer can turkey/chicken salad sandwich???TO DIE FOR!!!
TILL NEXT TIME....KEEP ON GRILLIN!!!
