Bear Mountain BBQ offers recipes for smoked holiday turkey

Bear Mountain BBQ is encouraging people to incorporate grilling into their holiday meals by using their all-natural hardwood products, according to taosnews.com. The company highlights that grilling can add bold, smoky flavors to traditional holiday dishes and create memorable gatherings.

Levi Strayer from Bear Mountain BBQ emphasized that the holidays are about more than just the main meal, including unexpected guests and leftovers, and that grilling plays a role in enhancing these experiences.

Together with The Grill Dads, Bear Mountain BBQ shared two holiday recipes featuring their Holiday Turkey Blend Pellets, which combine maple, hickory, and cherry woods for a sweet and smoky flavor.

One recipe detailed is the Smoked Holiday Turkey, which involves seasoning turkey pieces with Anytime Seasoning, dry-brining them uncovered for 24-48 hours, and smoking them until they reach safe internal temperatures: 165 degrees Fahrenheit for the breast and 175-185 degrees Fahrenheit for the leg quarters.

The recipe aims to deliver juicy, tender turkey with a holiday-worthy finish, making grilling a viable option for festive meals and gatherings.

Bear Mountain BBQ's approach encourages using the grill not only for main dishes but also for enhancing the overall holiday experience through flavor and social connection.
