Smoked Turkey

For a girl that is allergic to pork smoked turkey is a blessing! I loved pork, any kind of pork, until when I was a teenager I started to develope adult onset allergy to the great white meat. for the first few years it would just give me a runny nose and a little bit of an upset stomach but each year the symptoms got worse until I now can not eat it at all. Oh how I miss it! Ham is the one I miss the most. That is until my husband started smoking turkeys for me. It tastes so much like ham that I don't feel like I am missing out at all! And yes, I am typing this while eating left over smoked turkey.

Mmmmm, I love smoked turkey too! But I also love pork! I had no idea that a person could be allergic to pork. Sad we missed seeing you guys this past weekend!

Well, that sure is nice of him. I am also allergic to pork, although I have the occasional BBQ sandwich!

Ambrose likes to brine our turkeys and it tastes an awful lot like ham to me. Of course the year he brined and our friend smoked them was the closest.

Pork allergy would not be fun. Is it all pork or does it make a difference if it's pastured? (i.e...not raised on corn.) I'd miss bacon terribly.
