Ingredients:
4 good quality pork sausages about 270g/9.5oz
400 g (14oz) spirali pasta - (or your favourite pasta shapes)
8 rashers (strips) streaky bacon (about 125g/4.5oz)
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion peeled and finely chopped
150 g (1 ½ packed cups) grated mature/strong cheddar cheese
180 ml (¾ cup) double (heavy) cream
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F
2. Place the sausages on a baking sheet and place in the oven to cook for approx 20 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Then remove from the oven and place on a chopping board.
3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in boiling water as per the cooking instructions, until al dente, then drain in a colander, reserving about a cup of the pasta cooking water.
4. While the pasta and sausages are cooking place a large frying pan over a medium heat to heat up.
5. Once hot, place the bacon in the pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning once during cooking, until browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and place on a chopping board.
6. Add the tablespoon of oil to the bacon fat that’s already in the frying pan.
7. Add the onion to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion has softened.
8. By now the pasta should be ready (remember to save a cup of the pasta water when draining the pasta). Add the drained pasta to the frying pan with the onion.
9. Add the cheese, cream and pepper to the pan and stir together with the pasta until the cheese has melted.
10. Slice the cooked sausages and bacon on the chopping board and add to the pan with the pasta.
11. Stir everything together.
12. If you want to loosen the sauce slightly, add splashes of the pasta cooking water until the sauce is thinned to your liking.
13. Transfer the pasta to bowls and serve topped with fresh parsley and a little more black pepper if you like.
Notes
Want to add in some vegetables? Add frozen peas to the pan with the pasta for the last minute of cooking the pasta. Add mushrooms, chopped chunks of peppers or courgette (zucchini) to the pan when you're frying the onion
Ingredient swaps
a. Swap the bacon for chorizo
b. Leave out the bacon and swap the sausage for vegetarian sausages for a vegetarian version.
c. Add veggies such as peas, mushrooms or spinach.
d. Swap out quarter of the cheddar for mozzarella if you wanted some stretchy cheese in there.

Today we are going to cover some of the most important steps to preparing your turkey.
I started off with a 15lb frozen turkey and let it thaw for days and days in the refrigerator. The day before I planned to make this smoked turkey I removed it from its packaging, rinsed, and dried it. I then used some garlic salt and my favorite turkey rub to dry brine this turkey. Turkey Rubs are a dime a dozen, but I have found the most satisfying results come from an herb based rub like the Spiceology Turkey Rub ( ). I then returned the turkey into the refrigerator uncovered for the next 12-24 hours.
The next day I am out at my Char-Griller Gravity 980 and I am almost ready to get this turkey going.... but its time to inject.
Turkey injection is something that many people just don't mess with, but you are honestly missing out. I will ALWAYS inject turkey. ALWAYS. I have perfected my turkey injection recipe and the additional moisture and flavor that you get, especially in the turkey breast, is incredible!
The turkey injection was perfect consists of (these are the basic ingredients. Use your own ratios to suite your taste buds):
- unsalted butter 2 sticks
- salt 1/2 teaspoon
- brown sugar 3 tablespoons
- garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon
- black pepper 1/2 teaspoon
- Italian Seasoning 1/2 teaspoon
- bbq rub 1 teaspoon ( I use Bearded Butchers:
Once I use my turkey injection recipe, It's time to get this turkey on the char griller gravity fed 980. I have it set to 285F and loaded with lump charcoal, cherry and hickory wood. I smoke this turkey until it hits 165F in the breast and rotate if it starts to look as if its cooking unevenly.
When the smoked turkey breast is at 155F I use some of my homemade glaze recipe to baste on the turkey. It consists of 4:1 honey to bourbon and a few dashes of cajun seasoning to give it a little thunder!
As you can see this smoked turkey turned out great and would be the perfect thanksgiving turkey recipe for you! It doesn't matter if you have an offset smoker, gravity smoker, pellet grill, or pellet smoker...heck you can even use your over! Between the seasoning and brine, injection, and glaze.... this is one DELICIOUS smoked turkey!
