Any good ideas for thanksgiving smoker?
« on: October 09, 2015, 07:56:24 PM »
Just cruising some recipes for my smoker. I want to do something for turkey  day. We will be doing thanksgiving at our place this year. Still doing a large turkey in oven so this would be just a side dish deal. Preferably something not super complicated.

Smoker is a digital Bradley.

Thanks for the ideas......

Cornish game hens! Brine them in cranberry and apple juice so good.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

Sides or appetizers might be cool.

Smoke some salmon/steelhead in your smoker. Make sure you have at least 1lb of smoked skinless meat. Then crumble the smoked fish, add 2 packages of cream cheese, some chopped green onions and whatever else you want into it. Roll into a log place in refrigerator for about 2 hrs. and then you have the best freaking salmon spread anyone could ask for. Make sure you have an assortment of different crackers. Always a great holiday treat.

Smoked cheese an crackers
Smoked jalapeno poppers
Smoked oysters
Smoked mushrooms
Badhabit's idea  :tup:  :drool:

I usually do like a pate. With enough mayo, horseradish for flavor and a binder. Then add your favorite's. Yellow. red, or green onion. Diced pickle and chopped pickled jalapeno's. Celery peeled and chopped. Basicly throw what ya like in the bowl. Be careful not to over mix. That makes mush. With your favorite cracker Ritz.
Season to taste salt, pepper, and maybe garlic and chili flakes.

Popper's are really a blank canvass. You make it with your favorite flavors

1 8oz cream chesse
1 tube pork chorizo or beef you decide.
melt together on a sautee temp.
you can also use diced onions what ever you choose.

I usually slice jalapeno long ways. Stripping the seeds. having hollow boat. Fill with your ingredients. Top with your favorite shredded cheese. I usually use pepper jack  :twocents:
Set smoker 250 degrees. Throw in the poppers for hour maybe hr an half. Depends on your al dent tay.......lol

Or use same concept but use Italian sausage mushrooms cream cheese garlic maybe bacon for the top with shredded cheese. Hope it gives ideas, any ?s just post...... ;)

Here's some simple idea's

slice jalapeno strip seeds. wedge of favorite cheese wrap in raw bacon pin with tooth pick. When the bacons done, your eating.
Also ricotta with a pineapple chunk  :drool:

Remember anything you can put in a oven, you can smoke. The only limitation is your imagination  ;)

Do the turkey, you'll never go back to oven turkey. Skin the turkey from breast down to legs, coat with your favorite rub and olive oil fold skin back up and hold in place with toothpicks to keep skin covering everything and moist.

I would love too. Wife sais no, she wants a big one done in oven.. I did a pepper crusted turkey breast  few years back, turned out great. I got that recipe I off the Bradley website.
Tossing around the ribs idea.
