| Well I was in the mood for a smoke and since no one was available for a day of smoking I headed over to the parents Sunday morning with a brined and rubbed turkey and a nice big fattie (sausage that is rolled flat and stuffed).
It all started sat afternoon with the turkey going into the brine.

My brine:
2g Water
1 1/2lb Salt
1c Sugar
2t Bayleaf
2t Dry Thyme
2t Peppercorns
2t Juniper Berried
2t Basil (Dry)
2t Ginger (Dry)
2t Marjoram (Dry)
2t Sage
Boil ingredients for 3 min and cool. Brine turkey for 24 hours.
After the turkey went into the brine, I mixed my sausage and beef rolled it flat and added my stuffings. Cheddar, onion, green pepper and tomatoes.

Rolled the fattie up and coated it with mustard and Jeff's rub.

The next day prior to heading to the parents I removed the turkey from the brine and gave it a good rub. (Jeff's rub once again)

Once the coals got nice and hot I added the wonderful orange that a gentleman from a different forum was nice enough to give me. Thanks again Bud that smoke has a wonderful scent and great flavor.

Once temp was achieved I got the turkey and fattie into the smoker and sat back for a day of football, frosty beverages and smoke.

Once the fattie was cooked, it was pulled and went into a warm oven to wait for the turkey.

Turkey was done a while later and was looking good!

The sliced fattie.

Got the turkey sliced and it was wonderful. A great taste and incredibly juicy. Cant wait to do it again.
I brought a bottle of homemade wine I was given recently to share with the family. It was wonderful and we all enjoyed a glass with the meal.

Once again a great meal shared with the family.
I hope this post breaks you all out of your back to work monday blues and gets you thinking of this weekends food. I found some brisket for $2.20/lb today.
I think I know what the next smoke will be

you could go all sausage if you want. Its up to you just have fun. You can stuff so many different things into that. Like scrambled eggs with everything I already have in there. This meal you can get really inventive!

| | I was wondering the same thing Shelly. I do not have access to a smoker right now (hint hint vlap). I thought that made a mighty tasting looking plate to take to the neighborhood Halloween party. Cari |

| I can take a hint. I am always up for hire and my smoker is able to travel 
Yes I think the fattie would be fine in the oven. I have some ideas.
