Made an amazing smoked Turkey on my Lang following the instructions for the Ultimate Turkey here. Very happy with the results! I was worried about maintaining such a high temperature for the first time but it turned out to be way easier than expected and held strong. That was the good news. The gravy on the other hand was pretty much a disaster and I ended up not using it.
I followed the instructions all the way down to the end, but did not have a "separator" as of course I realized I should have when it was too late. So I sat the gravy in a pan and waiting for it to separate but it never seemed to get a seperation that was clear enough for me to easily remove the fat from the rest of the liquid. Needless to say, I gave up and had a great gravy-less turkey for the first time.
It's too late for this time, but wondering if anyone has any ideas what I can do if I'm in this situation again? How to easily separate the parts of the gravy without that fancy contraption in the instructions that I didn't have?
I've attached a pic of my turkey roasting above the pan containing the gravy for fun (well before it was done).
