Smokin Monkey Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Turkey cooked in a Wood Fired Oven! Take 1 Turkey Put some flavored Butter under the skin Add a Bacon Weave to protect the top. Get it in the Wood Fired Oven, running approximately at 180’C Two Hours later Rest then carve Lovely moist Turkey! Happy Christmas to one and all 🎅🎄 And please remember, a Turkey is not just for Christmas!

hoogl Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Nice video, I did my Turkey crown last year in Kamado topped with bacon lattice. I thought the skin was a bit rubbery but I cooked at 150c max. I noticed you cooked towards the 200c did that help crisp the skin up? or do you think go lower early on, take the bacon off around 40c and crank heat up to higher for remaining cook? or just leave bacon on and crank heat up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think cooking at th higher temperature certainly helped to keep the skin crispy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoogl Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Here's my submission for Decembers Challenge. I've been trying to take part in previous months but I keep missing due to work/personal factors so happy to take part. I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and all the best for the New Year. Gammon on WSM (1451) with Whisky Barrel for smoke - 1522 Gammon on WSM - 1551 Added Salmon - 1602 Added some glazing to Gammon - 1618 Salmon Done - 1639 Added 80 Pigs in blankets homemade with a JD and Honey glaze - 1644 Salmon resting - 1648 Gammon After last Glaze, pulled (1901) after and left to rest. - 1810 My Christmas Eve Dinner - 1924 Turkey Crown wrapped in Bacon on the Aldi Kamado with Whisky Barrel for smoke, seasoned with salt, pepper and rosemary - 1332 Turkey almost done - 1630 Turkey resting, covered with foil - 1633 Turkey Sliced for dinner. A better crispy skin this time, Cooked a little hotter than last year and made a great difference. Christmas Dinner, Turkey, Pigs, Gammon and Salmon from Xmas Eve. Yorkshire, Air fried roast spuds, Honey glazed carrots. Gravy made from a drip tray underneath the turkey. Has mostly dried in so I deglazed it with chicken stock to make gravy. Overall the skin was better than last years. Dinner was fantastic, Went to In laws for Boxing day and had to drive back home for the Smoked gravy I had left as MIL didn't have enough and loves my smoked meats. It's just my Partner and I so we have a ton of left overs. Here's some gammon before I packaged and froze into 150-200g packs for lunches. I did the same with the Turkey. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not used to the smoke so found it a little too strong for her taste (so she's disinvited for next year 😂 ) 19 hours ago, Smokin Monkey said: Amazing Cook, where was my Christmas Dinner invite?🤣 I did sent it via train or was it royal mail? 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
