BBQ Turkey and Bacon? Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together! No Tech Required!

Posted on by

For the last 10 years or so, I have been trying to perfect the concept of the BBQ Turkey at Thanksgiving.  Since I love to BBQ, and of course, I love Bacon, putting the two together seemed very natural.  What a delicious combo they have become! As I have mentioned this creation to others, many of asked, “just how do you pull it off?”  So this year (2011), I decided to document it here and share it with anyone interested in reading about it.  Enjoy. For the second year in a row now, we have doubled the mess and cooked
