After watching Sandra @ SoulFoodQueen.Net using smoked turkey to season blackeyed peas, we decided to make our own smoked turkey to freeze and store for some of our own future meals.
Ingredients:
3 Turkey Thighs and 4 Turkey Wings
1 cup Orange juice
1 cup Pineapple juice
6 tbsp Olive oil
3 tsp Thyme
3 tsp Rosemary
3 tsp Chicken Spice (We used Bone Sucking Sauce Chicken Spice)
3 tsp Coarse Sea Salt (or Coarse Pink Himalayan Salt)
2 tsp Black Pepper powder and Table Salt
Cooking Directions
Marinate:
1. Mix orange juice, pineapple juice, oil and dry seasonings in a large resealable Ziploc bag (or two).
2. Add turkey pieces and shake to coat well. Try to remove as much air as possible as you seal the bag. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours). Turning a few times.
3. Remove meat and drain and set aside liquid for basting.
4. Bring liquid to a boil for 3-5 minutes then reduce heat to medium and cook 15 more minutes. Set aside to cool then refrigerate.
Smoke:
5. Place turkey on smoker at 300-350 F for 6-8 hours.
6. Begin adding your wood for flavoring the last 2-3 hours and begin basting with marinade then as well.
7. Check your meat for doneness and remove from heat.

sent us before which makes sensebecause it’s all Carolina barbecue sauceshe sent us some Scott’s barbecue sauceand the Scott’s in the wells are verysimilar both very goodthat vinegary South Carolina sauce butthe Wells is just a tiny bit sweeter soif anybody is interested in this ifspecially if here in the South Carolinaarea we’d give it a thumbs up so and thepulled pork we definitely get the
