Smoked Turkey Salad

Smoking the Turkey. - There are many ways to smoke turkey. Depending on the equipment you have you can smoke in the oven, on the stove or my favorite in a barbeque. This method will impart the most flavor and give you an incredible taste sensation into your salad.

Take 2 cups of the pecan wood chips and place them into a bowl. Pour enough water to cover the chips and allow them

to soak for 30 minutes. Drain the chips before placing them on top of the charcoal.

Note: It's important that they are saturated with water before placing them on top of the charcoal in the BBQ.

Prepare the Turkey Legs. - Place the turkey legs into a large dish and brush on the Dijon mustard. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of

the Aromatica hot & spicy seasoning per turkey leg. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.

Get the BBQ Ready. - Place two pounds of charcoal into a chimney starter. Place paper under the starter then

place the starter on top of the BBQ grill and light the paper with a match / lighter. Allow the charcoal to flame and burn

to a light ash. Approximately 10 minutes. Once the charcoal is ready, pour into the center of the BBQ then sprinkle the

soaked pecan chips on top of the hot charcoals. Place the grill on top and close the BBQ dome. Allow to smoke for

10 minutes before putting your turkey legs on the BBQ grill.

Spray or bush the BBQ grill with olive oil. Place the turkey legs directly on the grill. Allow the legs to smoke for 2 hours

turning them a 1/4 turn each 1/2 hour. The legs will be tender and smoked when the temperature reaches 180 degrees.

Note: The important fact in smoking is that it is done very slowly. The charcoal needs to be hot without flames.

Once the turkey is smoked, remove the legs from the barbeque and let them sit for 30 minutes to cool. Remove the skin and start

to pull the meat off the bone. It will come off very easy at this point. Remove all of the tendons from the meat as you are removing

the meat from the bone. Yield will be about 10 ounces from 1 pound of turkey legs.

Chop red onion and celery into large pieces. Cut apple into 1/4" pieces.

In a food processor place turkey, onion, celery and walnuts. Pulse for 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside

Salad - In a large bowl place: turkey mix, apple,no salt seasoning and dressing. Mix all together. Place into refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
