Smoked Turkey Breast
Take one turkey breast
peel the skin back
season with various things (garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, I like emeril's essence)
Then start laying peppered bacon.
every so often put pads of butter down. as you lay the bacon roll the skin back. when you get through toothpick the skin down.
put in the smoker and keep plenty of mesquite and hickory in it and the smoke rolling. Make sure you put it in a pan though so it stays nice and juicy. It's a turkey with bacon on it...how could it get better?...pictures Attachment 59612

1C Grahm Cracker Pie Crust

1/3 to 1/2 C Corn Syrup

1C Chopped or ground nuts.
_________________________

Mix Cracker Crust and nuts in a bowl, slowly add corn syrup until they get to be a stiff gooey mix. Don't make these to soft. You want them to hold together and be slightly tacky.

Kneed the mixture with your hands, which is especially fun for kids, or use a wooden spoon. If they are too soft add more nuts or more crust. You can also let this sit out and it will become harder.


Melt 6 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips, in a bowl, a double boiler is better, but a microwave is fine chocolate will not look melted in the microwave so just try 1 1/2 to 2 Min. maximum! Then stir and it will become a soft mixture.


Make a dry mixture of 2T granulated sugar and 1t salt


Make balls about the size of a shooter marble that's about 3/4" or smaller.
Roll the balls in the sugar and salt mixture then roll then in chocolate. Make a thin covering. You can use a spoon, or two forks.


Put them on wax paper or aluminium foil and put them in the Frig. to cool.


After the chocolate cools they are ready to serve...
