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...

MM

not when your broke, plus te only family that im around is my dad, that money is better spent elsewhere, like fuel, groceries for the week, house payment, getting my dodge back here, plus if i was back in ohio, the only family members that like me are my mom anyways and i probably wouldnt even see her, id go to my buddies houses......

Next year if yer in Ohio you can come to our house and eat. We'll stuff ya with so much food you won't move for a week. With all of us living up here on the hill

MM

gourmet PBJ
2 slices bread
1 jar jif extra crunchy peanut butter
1 jar grape jelly (or strawberry)
1 paper plate
1 plastic knife

directions:
Take the slices of bread and place them on a plate, take once slice and with a butter knife spread a even helping of peanut butter. Place back on plate. Take the other "virgin" slice of bread and spread the jam evenly across it. On return of jam slice to the plate flip the slice so the jam faces the peanut butter and press gently down. Then using the knife cut from corner to corner. When finished discard knife, and return the jelly and peanut butter to there proper storage spot.

ENJOY

:cp:

see thats how i cook thanksgiving dinner, simple and effective.....

:madd::madd::madd::madd:

You just got Peanut butter in the jelly DAMNT !!!

And if ya want to put it in yer lunch bucket for work or school..
Put a thin layer of peanut butter on each slice of bread with the jelly in the middle. No more soggy bread at lunch time. Ta Da!

MM

EDIT
lick the knife clean when changing from peanut butter to Jelly!
then grab the gallon of milk out of the fridge and presto lunch or a single mans dinner! (or dont get caught by the old lady)

Right on but i cut mine in half Im a Square type of guy , Im not down with the triangles , Possible Roof of mouth rupture at first bite

And Lots of Milk !! 2% ! and Hiners old fashion bread Woot !

hence its "gourmet" thats why its cut on a angle, I like em down the middle and your right 2% but I use "hillbilly" whole wheat bread:pca1:

Then Wouldn't Gourmet Be with crust removed

:D

mmmm Jenn that looks really good.... my kids will love that.. would walnut flavored icecream work,,,,,,,,,,, thats all i got today...

Yea that sounds pretty good. I think just about any ice cream would work as long as it's sweet.

I'm goin to have my mom try your stuffing for Christmas it sounds good.

MM

you people are nasty.....why would you disgrace bacon by wrapping it around fish.........

it keeps the fish from sticking to the tinfoil. ........nasty..:ph::meyou:

Grasshopper, munch to learn have you...

i grew up in a baitshop.......now lets talk......

OK, I'll play.....preparing scrum-diddly-umpcious seafood meals and selling bait correlate how exactly?

:tttt:

i know i know.. you need bait to catch fish..........

lets see, scraping dead minnows off the floor, smelling dead fish, handling dead fish, having to live a grandfather that constantly gutted fish right behind the house cause he fished ALOT, scrubbing minnow tanks, same as working in a slaughter house or a dog food plant.........you dont eat or eat stuff that looks or smells like what you make or sell cause you KNOW how nasty it is......
