Here in the United States, we celebrated Thanksgiving last Thursday. I cooked some sausage for breakfast and a ham and turkey breast for dinner. We had a really good day and a nice time with family.

I had bought a frozen turkey breast at Wal-Mart. It was an 8 pounder and I had given it a few days in the fridge to thaw. The ham was a pre-cooked spiral sliced ham. And I also picked up a couple pounds of ground sausage on sale at our local grocery store.

The night before Thanksgiving, I prepped and seasoned all the meat. I put it in glass pans, covered it with plastic wrap, and refrigerated it until the next morning.

One advantage we (as the barbecue crowd) have over everyone else around the holidays is that we can cook birds (ie., turkeys, chickens) and pigs in the smoker.

If you have the right equipment and a little know-how, it’s actually pretty easy to “smoke” the average Joe’s idea of a Thanksgiving meal.

I just put together a handful of recipes for my favorite thanksgiving dinner, inspired by the Amish traditions we had growing up.

(These are precious gems.)

And I just recently updated my guide on how to smoke a turkey low and slow. If you need help smoking the turkey this week, check it out.
