this turkey was very tasty,  the skin was crispy and sweet with the apricot,   but after a couple seconds the hot injection in the meat hit you and really added a nice kick

we had three turkeys and mine was gone wth the other two pleanty leftovers!!

made me smile

thanks for the votes everyone

gotta go work on that ham now
 
Wow Rick

That looks really good - congrats on a great post
 
Sounds like a great, straight-forward technique, and that color is BEAUTIFUL!!!  Never would have thought to spike up turkey with hot sauce and paprika.  Love using apricot jam and dried apricots in things - they have a nice tart/sweet thing goin' on.   The kid's right, that's one bitchin' bird!!!

Now thats why I voted for you there Rick. That is one of the best looking turkeys that I have seen this year. That also included the 4 turkeys that I smoked, fried, and smo-fried this year.
 
What an excellent dish, congrats Rick. Those pics are really good, together they tell it all. It's all good my friend.
