Hi fellow ChileHeads,

I had promised a couple of people I'd post this great tasting recipe before
Christmas.  Guess this is cutting it close. 

 My Rosemary Conical Christmas trees are posted by the front door adorned with
many Chiles as ornaments.  The chiles have all frozen this year!  It has been
below 23F every night now for a week, in fact it was 19F last night here in
Alamo, CA.  Yes just 27 miles East of San Francisco.  Even snowed twice---what
to do?  
Sounds like Hot Buttered Rum weather to me.

Marry Christmas

Injection liquid

1/2 roasted garlic oil
4 ounces dark beer
1 tsp to 1 tab cayenne pepper (Smoked Hab or Chiptle would be good) depends on
your style/taste

12 # turkey

turkey paste

6 cloves of garlic
1 tsp to 1 tab cayenne pepper (Smoked Hab or Chiptle would be good) depends on
your style/taste
1 tab salt
Dash of Cayenne
1 tab garlic flavored oil
1 tab coarse ground black pepper

Mop

2 cups turkey broth
1 cup water 
8 ounces dark beer 1/4 cup veg oil

Preparation:  The night before mix up the injection, and stick the birdie all
over moving the syringe deep into various body areas.

Make the paste in a food processor.  Give the bird a good massage inside and
out with this mixture getting as much as you can under the skin.  Be careful
NOT to puncture the skin.

Now tuck the bird into a plastic bag and refrigerate over night.

In the morning take the bird out for about 1 hour to warm him up to room
temperature.

Get the smoker fired up during this time.  Get it preheated to about 210F

Take about 5 feet of cheesecloth dampened in water and wrap the bird up like a
mummy.

Put the bird into the smoker breast side down. and cook for about 90 minutes
until the temp internal is 180F.  
Every 30 minutes spray the bird down getting the cheesecloth wet.  Continue
smoking and spraying for about 6 hours.  Remove cheesecloth, cutting as
necessary to remove it.

 Mop should be cooked in sauce pan prior to this.

 Continue smoking and mopping every 30 minutes until it is done.  When done
remove from smoker and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before carving.

This bird is moist, moist, moist and so good!
