Smoked Wild Turkey

Linda Metz www.bowhunting.net

Clean and trim turkey and stuff inside with celery stalks and quartered onions.

Mix:

½ cup olive oil

1-2 tablespoons rosemary

1-2 tablespoons thyme leaves

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

Rub turkey inside and out with mixture.

2 large Vidalia onions, cut in quarters

1 pound thick sliced smoked bacon

Separate onions into single layers and cover entire turkey with single layers of onion and secure with toothpicks. Place bacon over entire turkey, hooking it over the toothpicks. Place turkey in smoker, using charcoal and whatever chunks of wood you prefer…we like hickory…and smoke for at least 6-8 hours.

Enjoy!
