BUCKHANNON -- The Almost Heaven BBQ Bash is excited to once again be selected to host a Turkey Smoke contest during the BBQ Bash.
Turkey Smoke is a KCBS ancillary competition category, presented in partnership with the National Turkey Federation. From tried-and-true traditional smoked and sliced turkey to preparations with a unique twist, the goal of the Turkey Smoke category is to highlight the applications and versatility of turkey in barbecue.
Turkey Smoke Rules
• Turkey must be the primary protein in the entry. Other proteins may be used in a supporting role (e.g., bacon-wrapped or sausage-stuffed). Sliced, pulled, or chopped turkey is acceptable in an entry; ground turkey is not an acceptable entry. Turkey may be presented with or without skin.
• Each contestant provides their choice of turkey product (according to the KCBS contest rules).
• All KCBS Master Series Rules and Regulations shall apply with the following exceptions:
1) A food thermometer shall be used to ensure a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F has been reached to destroy bacteria and prevent foodborne illness.
2) Accompanying or complementary edible ingredients ARE allowed (e.g., mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, relish, fruits, vegetables, cheese, bread, etc.). If used, these shall be part of the individual serving portions and cannot be used as a container garnish.
3) Clearly identifiable toothpicks and skewers are also allowed.
Entry into this contest is free, and a turkey breast will be provided to those who enter. Teams will be competing for a $1,000 cash prize pay-out along with trophies and bragging rights.
