How to Prepare a Wild Turkey - The Rest of It

Today was Turkey Day. Not Thanksgiving, just Turkey Day. We need more non-holiday turkey days, in my opinion.

I missed out on most of the preparation as I was working all day, which was unfortunate as it was absolutely gorgeous out and my 15 min. walk over my lunch break did not suffice for soaking up the sunshine.

However, my hubby was kind enough to get dinner put together and snap a few photos of the process (what a sweetheart). So here's the smokin':

After the smokin', it's a-time for the roastin':

And then...well, you can guess the rest. A dinner fit for a king...and queen..and the queen's mom and little brother. Yup, little bro and Mom came by, so we set up dinner on the old picnic table in the backyard, cracked open a bottle of our latest Basement Brew wine, and had a good 'ol time.

As delicious as it was, we couldn't eat nearly all of it, so I'm looking forward to the next best part of turkey dinners: leftovers!
