Smoked turkey for Sunday's gumbo. (Plated pics)

[k.a.m.]

Today Debbie and I smoked a turkey for a gumbo I will prepare Sunday for my office. We also smoked a 3.5 lb chuck roast for our supper.
The turkey seasoned up with T-Boy's.


On the smoker.


After resting ready to carve up for tomorrow.


The chuck roast went on just before the turkey.


How about some ABT's and bacon wrapped corn.


The ABT's, corn and roast on the cooker.




ABT's and corn finished.




The roast after resting.


Chopped up.


A little ajus and BBQ sauce mixed in.


Chopped beef sandwich, ABT's and corn. This was a fine meal.


More gumbo pics tomorrow.

I really hate drooling on my keyboard as they cost too much to replace, but DAMN!! Bacon wrapped corn? Really?!? You throw something like that in there and it's time to get the damn kettle out again, lol. Fine work my man!!

Note: For those that try the corn just before you take it off the cooker stand them on end and place a dollop of butter on each one and let it melt in.
Thank You Marv, yes the bacon wrapped corn is very good.

Thank You Maniac, give it a try it is worth it.

Thank You TX727, get busy Brother.

Thank You Awning Guy, Give it a try I think you will enjoy it.

Thank You Ken, nope no throw down for me right now I will let y'all battle that one out. I am very pleased with the way the cooker performs Thank You.

Thank You David, I am working on the gumbo as it is coming together.

Kevin, everything is looking good.
I'm sure the gumbo will be fantastic.
Is that a piece of expanded metal under that chuckie?

It's funny, awesome looking bird, fine looking roast, a pile of ABT's, and the corn steals the show.

[italian skewer]

k.a.m. that's one fine piece of art there. What i would have done though, is i would have also cut a piece of turkey breast just to sample. We wanna make sure the turkey came out good. I'm sure the office will understand if they find a chunk missing.

Kevin your Turkey and Chuck came out looking beautiful! Man I haven't had an ABT in a year and that was just hard to look at.....love the looks of the bacon wrapped corn, I'll have to give that a try. Glad to see you enjoying a day with the cooker. We had a 12" snow and a 13" snow 5 days apart, with 25 to 30 mph north winds. I thought this winter was in the rearview mirror and then BAM!! Mrs K.C. requested a Porterhouse today....first time she has had a taste for steak in a year....I almost ran over her going to the freezer and she said she wished I moved that fast when she makes other requests I'm looking forward to digging one of the grills out today and hope to get a smoker fired up before too long!!

k.a.m. you always seem to come up with something special, that bacon/corn looks great.

However I seem to have seen several of your roasted turkeys and they always look so darn perfect and delicious, man you really have cooking them dialed in.

If you don't mind my asking, is the T-Boy's seasoning commercially available or is it something you make?

[plbass]

Thats some good looking eats you got there.

[k.a.m.]

Thank You George, Yep that is Debbie's Trivet I made her. And yes the corn is becoming the hit of the parade.


Thank You italian skewer, Not to worry QC kicked in during the carving.

Thank You k.c.hawg, I look forward to maybe seeing a pic of that steak my Friend.

Thank You Changeling, T-Boy's is a meat market in Mamou La. My sister and brother-in-law live there. Here is a link you can order from, I like the Garlic seasoning.

Kevin everything looks totally awesome...you are the Gumbo King in my mind....but you did cook up one of my favorites and that is bacon wrapped corn.
Every time i have people over for bbq....bacon wrapped corn is a huge success.
