Smoke, Smoke, Smoke A wild One
6 qts water
2 c curing salt
3/4 c brown sugar
5 c cider
3/4 tsp ginger
3 tblsp black pepper
3/4 c lemon juice
3/4 oz maple flavoring
1 cleaned wild turkey
hickory chips
butter
brown sugar
Place all the ingredients in a large enamel-ware container. Place turkey in the mixture, making sure the bird is completely covered. Simmer for 1 hour. Remove the bird and drain well. (If the bird is over 12 pounds you may need to simmer a bit longer). Rub the bird with a mixture of butter and brown sugar and hang in the smoker.
Replensih hickory chips as needed. You may have to arise in the middle of the night to replenish the chips, but it will be worth it. When you take the bird from the smoker, if the legs are still tight and you are not sure that the meat is not quite done, put the bird in a 300°F oven and cook for 30 to 45 minutes longer.
Great for hors-d'oeuvre for parties. A 12lb bird will feed 16 to 18 people for snacks.
