Tried Something New This Thanksgiving...


Our friends Arlen and Jill Robichaux (who live in our circle) offered to cook our turkey in their smoker this year for Thanksgiving. 

We had never had a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving. The most “adventurous” we had been before was prepping a turkey in a fryer in 2013.

Bridget took our 9 lb. turkey breast over to the Robichaux’s at 7:55 a.m. this morning. We rubbed it the night before with a blend of fresh basil and rosemary, ground pepper, sage, garlic powder, salt, and olive oil. 

Arlen has a digital smoker with a Bluetooth thermometer that connects to an app on his iPhone. Pretty cool deal...


Our turkey reached an internal temp of 165 degrees a little after 1 p.m.

My dad and Bridget’s mom really enjoyed the turkey — more than any turkey we’ve previously prepped. That is the best testament for smoking a turkey. 


Special thanks to Arlen and Jill for offering to smoke the turkey. Really appreciate their friendship and thankful that they helped make our Thanksgiving celebration a success!
