42 lb Smoked Turkey

The turkey in the above pictures (you decide which is the turkey in the second pic) is a 42 lb smoked turkey.  We attended a benefit dinner for a friend's niece who has been diagnosed with ALS.  The community really came out in support for this cause.  We waited outside for over an hour just to get inside.  There was a dinner and live and silent auctions to help raise money.  I had donated several of my turnings and we went to help support the cause.  Long story short,  about half way through the live auction the 42 lb smoked turkey was up.  Gloria was the wining bidder and here it is.  The bird was fantastic.  Very little fat and it was not at all tough.

The candy are Christmas mice that Gloria makes.  The head is a peppermint Hersey Kiss with almond ears and dot of chocolate for eyes etc. The body is a cheery dipped in chocolate.  Gloria got this little treat from Sue Baker.

Happy Holidays !
