Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a good turkey day last week! All good down here. I decided to do my first Turkey and Fatty all in one day.
I got a minimally processed turkey
Decided to make a homemade brine which consisted of salt, sugar, pepper, herbs, molasses, and some other random spices. I bagged it over night. FYI use a bigger bag than a 3 gallon unless you want a mess!
Thanksgiving morning we got the fatty ready. Girlfriend made a nice bacon weave while i lit the smoker. We sautéed some green and red bell peppers, a jalapeño pepper, white and green onion, and scrambled 3 eggs (i think i will do four next time). Plus we chunked up a good bit of chedder and threw that on top. Oh yeah i used 2 lbs of sausage so i guess this might be properly called a hog leg and not a normal fatty!
Pic of both on smoker
Here is a pic of the finished fatty or hog leg with my fathers hand trying to pick at the bacon!
Smoked bird over higher heat about 325-350 for about 4 hours till breast reach 170. Wish i woulda pulled it at 165 but it was still the best turkey ive ever had. Still making some yummy sammies!
Hope yall enjoyed the pics! Next up a beef brisket!
