I got a whole leg of ham just going to get the turkey next week
Threre's only 2 off us
Ham gets basted in kumquat brandy,mustard, garlic,bay leaf thyme and maple syrup then baked its already smoked.
Turkey gets stuffed minced pork veal pistachio bacon apple juice and smoked in the weber with hickory and some mesquite this year.
The next days its turkey ham and left over roast veg and gravy pasties.
All the ham thats left gets portioned and vacuum sealed (no need to buy ham for a few months and this tastes way better) same with the bone for a pea and ham soup in the middle of winter.
Turkey gets eaten over a few days as pasties,omelettes and sandwiches and bones get turned into garden manure tea (along with sour dough, molasses,rock minerals and weeds) after getting picked clean by the soldier flies.
Its a good time to wear elastic waisted pants.

Sounds great Bent & Groovy

All except stuffing the Turkey, I'm really interested in this, I would love to know how many kgs your Turkey is ... I was advised VERY strongly in the US never to stuff a Turkey due to health concerns ... Interested to hear opinions on this topic ( I mights start another thread as not to hijack this one )

Anyway, a Black Pig Champage Ham, Pork Belly & a Turkey s ( not stuffed ) hould do it for me I think & all cooked in American built Barbecues to boot :D

4 days of Dry Aging after 20+ of Wet Aging. About a 4lb. cut. Rosemary, fresh Garlic and EVOO paste w/Montreal Steak. Vac sealed for 24 hours! Sure hope this works! Kristin was concerned with the crust, I believe the EVOO and paste will loosen, hope I am right!

Look forward to seeing everyone cooks tomorrow...

And stage 3, back in pit for 45 minutes at 325°. Was 113° when it went in, was 127 when it came out, rest for 15 minutes. It was 139° when it was carved. Was as good a Rib Roast as I have had in recent years! Forgot to buy Horseradish! Doh!

I'm operating under instructions to duplicate the Rabbit, so I'm going to document it this time! but heat up some chicken stock and stir in a teaspoon of horseradish and you'll see where I'm going.
