1 Cup Prepared Stuffing
3/4 Cup Cranberry Sauce
1 Tbsp Poultry Seasoning
13 Strips Bacon

Cranberry BBQ Sauce

1 Cup Cranberry Sauce
2 Tbsp Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Molases
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tsp Garlic powder
1 Tsp Onion powder

Instructions

Prepare mashed potato and stuffing
Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees. (use maple, hickory or apple)
Place a piece of tin foil down and create bacon weave with 7 strips of bacon across and 6 going the opposite direction
Mix half of the poultry seasoning with turkey and place into a ziplock freezer bag and seal. Use rolling pin or hands and flatten out turkey so it takes up all of the freezer bag.
Open the bag and then slice down the middle of the top side of bag and then across the bottom to open up.
Place a layer of mashed potato, a layer of stuffing, and a layer of cranberry sauce close to one end of the turkey but leaving a little space and also leaving some space on ends.
Use ziploc bag to help roll up turkey. Once completely rolled try to seal ends so filling does not come out.
Place this on the bacon weave in the middle then use the foil to roll up each side of the bacon to completely wrap turkey. Roll it so ends of bacon are facing down
Sprinkle with remaining poultry seasoning.
Place this on smoker and cook until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees
Prepare your cranberry BBQ sauce while the fatty is cooking
Place all ingredients into a pot and bring to a boil
Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes stirring frequently
Once the internal tmeperature reaches 145 degrees brush the fatty with the Cranberry BBQ sauce and then allow to cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees
Remove from the smoker and allow to rest for 10 minutes and then slice.
Serve and enjoy!
