Smoked Turkey Cobbler Recipes

COMFORTING TURKEY COBBLER

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1 tablespoon flour to create a paste. Slowly add in water, stirring to incorporate. Stir in 1/2 cup milk and garlic base until mixture begins to bubble. Add turkey, carrots, celery, and onion and heat until warm, about 5 minutes. Mix in oregano, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8x6-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Whisk together 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt for cobbler topping in a bowl. Cut in 3 tablespoons butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in 1/2 cup milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
• Pour turkey filling into the prepared casserole dish. Drop cobbler topping on top and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic granules.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cobbler topping is golden brown, about 25 minutes.

TURKEY IN A SMOKER

Steps:

• Preheat smoker to 225 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C).
• Rinse turkey under cold water, and pat dry. Rub the crushed garlic over the outside of the bird, and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Place in a disposable roasting pan. Fill turkey cavity with butter, cola, apple, onion, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Cover loosely with foil.
• Smoke at 225 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C) for 10 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C) when measured in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste the bird every 1 to 2 hours with the juices from the bottom of the roasting pan.

SMOKED TURKEY COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Whisk 1 1/3 cups flour, polenta, sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Cut 4 tablespoons butter into small pieces and blend into dry ingredients with a pastry blender until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
• Toss in 1/2 cup corn and green onions. Gently stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Drop 1/4 cupfuls batter, 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter and bake until pale blond, about 12 minutes; set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 425°F.
• Heat a large saucepan to medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and add the remaining 1/2 cup corn, green beans, peppers, and adobo sauce and cook until the vegetables are tender. Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in remaining 1/3 cup flour and cook, while stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in broth, milk, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
• Bring to a simmer while whisking and cook until smooth and thickened. Pour mixture over vegetables and add turkey. Stir to combine. Pour filling into a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish and top with reserved biscuits. Bake until bubbly and biscuits are golden brown, about 30 minutes.

SMOKED APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for direct and indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the side burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. If using gas, add soaked wood chips for additional smoky flavor (be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results). If your grill has a thermometer, aim to keep the temperature at about 350 degrees F throughout grilling.
• Put the apples, vanilla, 1/3 cup of the sugar, 2 tablespoons of the butter and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and toss to combine. Transfer to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter and pulse until the butter pieces are no larger than peas. Add the buttermilk and pulse until the dough just starts to come together in a ball.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough all over the apples. Sprinkle generously with sugar. Transfer the skillet to the direct heat side of the grill, cover the grill and cook, rotating the skillet halfway through, until the apples on the sides of the pan are bubbling and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Move the skillet to the indirect side of the grill, cover the grill and cook until the dough is cooked through and golden on top, about 15 minutes more.
• Remove the skillet from the grill and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve the cobbler topped with ice cream and caramel sauce.
