Easy home smoked turkey?
Ok, so here is my tale of woe. For hunting camp, I always PRE-prepare food before I get there. Simple enough. I make fresh chili without the beans, then add the beans precooked beans while there. I also take along slices of roast beef and cheese and bread and other condiments for sandwiches. And a few other things like smoked salmon that is ready to eat or only needs to be warmed-up.
Soooo....I have a friend that shot a turkey. Fine. Now he is telling me that he wants to bring it to hunting camp to cook. Hmm. Yeah, we have the facilities for that, but do we really need to do that? Well, I don't want to didiscouragehe guy. I know how proud he feels to have shot himself a wild turkey, and I am guessing that he has this fantasy that he will cook it like a gogourmethef and then for the entire week at deer camp, the only thing we will be talking about is that fine tasting turkey that Jim Bob shot and cooked to perfection.
But I am wondering. Is there some methodology of perhaps making a "smoked turkey" without a lot of fuss? Is there a smoked turkey seasoning that we can add to a crcrock-potso that we don't have to tie-up the oven/stove while that bird cooks?
We always have TOO MUCH FOOD at hunting camp. So we really don't have to do a reenactment of some Norman Rockwell painting with a big turkey bird being served to a group of hungry men. But, smoked turkey as a finger food to go with Ritz crackers and maybe some salmon spread would be welcomed as a snack around the camp.
