We would like to thank Traeger owner and Bullfrog customer Rebeca Christensen for sharing this great rib recipe with us.
I’m not a big fan of Terry Bradshaw, but you got to laugh when you see this!

My first turkey on the Traeger, overall it was a success, better than any oven turkey that I have ever had, but not as good as some of the whole chickens I have done.
Traeger Lil’ Texas
Hickory Wood Pellets
Traeger Pork and Poultry Seasoning
Olive Oil
Preparation: I took a 15lbs turkey and removed a giblets and such, rinsed in cold water and patted dry. Next I applied a generous coat of olive oil (I have no idea why I did, maybe because that’s how I do my chickens?), and seasoned in and out with Traeger Pork and Poultry. Preheated Traeger for 15 minutes on medium, switched to smoke, and placed turkey breast down. Overall cook time was about 6 hours 30 minutes, kept it on smoke the whole time. Pulled the turkey when internal temp was 165 and let it sit for 40 minutes before digging in, very juicy, great flavor.
Next time a do a turkey, I will smoke it for 2 hours, and then kick it to medium to finish it off. I felt the breast was a little dry, and I believe this might remedy that. That being said, the next day when I snacked on leftovers, it was spectacular. Everyone who tried it said it was the best turkey they had…

The Best Salmon Ever
10 out of 10
The Salmon I grilled on my Traeger last night was the best salmon ever. And I cook a lot of salmon!
Traeger Lil’ Texas Grill
Pellets – Hickory
Wood Plank – Alder
Seasoning – Lemon Pepper
Preparation:First, your choice of fillet is all important. Fresh is best, for that reason I buy all my fish at Costco. My family eats salmon about once a week and we have purchased it from a few different vendors and by far the best has been Costco. Tried and true. Second, soak your plank in water for about an hour, some say more than an hour, but this worked fine. Rinse your fish and place on plank. Season with lemon pepper. Squeeze one whole lemon on your fish, then slice your lemon and place on top of your fish. Slice up 5 Tbls of butter and place those on top of your lemon slices. Preheat your grill on high for ten minutes and then place it on your grill.
10 minutes in, cut up your second lemon and reapply fresh lemon juice. Cook for another 30 minutes till your salmon internal temperature comes to about 145. Squeeze the last half of a lemon for final application and let it sit for 5 minutes on the grill with it switched off.
Remove your salmon and enjoy!
Again, the best salmon ever!
