smoked turkey

Our cousin, Chris, smokes the turkey for us at Thanksgiving.
It is moist, tender and absolutely delicious!




We had 2 13 lb birds, he stuffs a whole orange in
 each turkey, on the third rack he has a silver foil pan, filled with onions with the skins on and
quartered, apples slices in half, celery and a large
dollop of red wine. He also pours more red wine
around the turkeys and checks during smoking
time to make sure that none of the liquids dry out.
He may add more wine during the cooking time.











Chris smokes his turkeys for a good four hours, checking to make sure the meat is tender and falling away from the bone.
