Thanksgiving trial run

johnnyp · November 2015

Bought a turkey on sale, as a first attempt at a bird before thanksgiving dinner.

also, made pork burnt ends, green beans and Mac and cheese.

it was delicious, although my photo skills leave something to be desired

@johnnyp planning on doing my first turkey ever this year,

many guidance you can give me on temp and time.

Good looking trial run! I'd love to be at the next one!

@slovelad I'm far from an expert, but this was a fairly easy cook. No brine, rubbed heavy with DP raging river and cooked indirect at 350*. Pulled when breast reached an IT of 160 and let carry over finish it off. this was a 15 lb bird and to my surprise, only took 2.5 hrs.

Thanks man, turned out great. Anytime you're in the VA Beach area, look me up.

Thanks for posting this cook. I will also be doing a trial run some time this week. Yours looked great, I can only hope for the same.

Mighty fine looking grub. Glad that it turned out well my friend.
