I smoked a turkey for a holiday dinner with friends last thursday. Last night, I made my chicken and dumplings recipe but used the leftover smoked turkey. It was phenomenal! The little hint of smoke in the soup was great. I dry brined the turkey prior to smoking it and smoke it over cherry and apple. My dumpling soup is generally very good, but this was a notch up

I'd also love to hear other recipes that are starch free, and involve lean proteins.

I've been throwing mine in a crockpot with carrots and potatoes. Tastes pretty damn good.

Except that taters are all starch, and carrots are one of the veggies highest in starch. I'd just season it well, grill it, serve with a spinach/tomato salad and some wild rice. The wild rice has starch but it is waaaay better than other rices and has a real nice natural nutty taste.

Whoops I missed the starch part.

Doing a little research, looks like this stuff will keep in the pantry or fridge even after opened for several months. It's pretty acidic.

So for $7, I'm willing to waste it if it's not the right recipe. If it is, I'll use it making Massaman all the time.

If you get the better brand, it

1) only 8 ounces

2) pre-divided into 2 sealed packages


But

Putting it into a zip lock bag and then in a plastic container, DOES last a couple months. Any air will spoil the part that touches air. And you can see the spoiled part easily.

I grill the **** out of it.

Chicken Fajitas

Chicken Tacos

Grill some up, top off a salad.

I had some turkey smoked sausage off the grill one time that was solid.

I don't like it, but you can make chicken salad sandwiches (not really very healthy).

Smoked whole chickens and cornish game hens is awesome.

My mom also makes some roast chicken in the oven, but I'm not any good at it.

Mostly just grill though. If my wife ever leaves me, I'm pretty sure most of my food will be off the grill.

I recommend you guys make Sopes, awesome stuff. YouTube that shit.

Is it time for the Flopnuts Fatties 2015 version? I'm hitting the diet and gym come January 1st.

Flop:

A couple quick recipes I have used and like that are good and not terrible for you. Replace the potatoes in the first recipe with brussel sprouts or some other green maybe? I really don't know how well they'll hold up in the oven, but the chicken fat gives the potatoes an amazing flavor. Just give the potatoes to your wife and prepare yourself a salad, and be jealous of how much she is enjoying the potatoes.

Sometimes I'll just fry some turkey sausage coins, then saute some green beans and onion together and pile them all together. Filling enough.

Not really for dinner, but I made a cheater little electric smoker out of a trashcan with a heating element, some grates, racks, and rods for meat sticks. I probably wouldn't ever smoke a butt or ribs or something on it. I really made it for quick and easy smokes, like sausage, fish, etc.

Anyhow, here are a bunch of awesome tasting venison meat sticks on my first smoke with it the other day. Amazing. The little thing held 225 degrees for two hours, which, I expected, being electric and all. And yes, I know that you shouldn't cook on galvanized metal, but that is only if you expect temperatures above 700degress, which I'll never even get close to with my electric element in there.

hey bud, just a heads up, when heated galvanized metal (like your trashcan) gives off toxic gasses. Go buy a real smoker...
