Haha. I can't stand beets. It's one of the very few things I have a real aversion to. My wife loves them.
If she has any on her plate at dinner, I leave the room.
Fresh beets? Man you're missing out.

Liver is one of my favorite meats. Chicken, cow, I don't care I will find a way to prepare and eat it.

What is tavern ham?
Answer:
Improve
Tavern ham advertises their product as fully Cooked Gluten free and no MSG. It's not a whole food, meaning some processing has occurred. Ham off the bone would be an example of whole meat, where no, or very limiting process occurs.
Boneless meats under go a process of removing the bones and "gluing" the meat back together in order to be packages and sliced.
Our premium tavern ham prepared from lean, hand trimmed Canadian pork and combined with all natural spices and seasonings then coated with brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon.

Ham looks good, heck it all looks good. I think you could of feed 50 or so. What did you smoke your turkey on? I've been doing the turkey hot tub for the last 8 years and love deep fried turkey. Thought about trying a turkey on my little Brinkman smoker but didn't want to experiment on a holiday. So it was 2, Cajun Injector, Creole Butter injected and swimming in p-nut oil for 45 mins...mmmm.
I've got a 60 gal air compressor tank, a small old trailer to mount it on, just need a welder to put it all together. Guess my little smoker will have to get me through for a little while longer.

MAYBE THIS WILL HELP........my brother-in-law cooked the one pictured and he said all he did was set it up, go to bed and let the cooker do the work.....didn't see his cooker, but here's a link that may help.....

Smoking The Turkey
Get your smoker up to 225 degrees Fahrenheit before you put in the turkey. Oil the grate to prevent sticking. Maintain a temperature of 225 to 250 degrees throughout the smoking session. I like my smoked turkey to be kissed with a combination of oak and apple smoke, about half and half. Use two or three fist sized chunks, spaced throughout the session?you don't want it to be overpowered with smoke flavor. Normally, it will need to smoke from 30 to 40 minutes per pound. Baste the turkey with a little melted butter a few times as it smokes.
When the thick part of the thigh reaches 170 degrees, and the breast about 160, it's time to remove the turkey. The temperature will rise after removing it from the smoker. When the breast reaches 150F, cover it with foil to prevent it from being overcooked.
All that remains is to cover the smoked turkey with a foil tent, and let it rest for at least one-half hour, breast side down, before slicing. This allows the juices and smoke flavor to evenly disperse throughout the flesh as it firms up.
Serving Suggestions for Smoked Turkey
Smoked turkey is a wonderful smoky treat served hot or cold. I think the flavor actually improves after a couple of days in the refrigerator.
The smoked turkey can be eaten along with a traditional Thanksgiving meal, or any other meal, sidled up next to the mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, stuffing, and homemade bread. It's also great chilled, sliced thin, and served on an assortment of crackers and cheeses. Top these off with green or black olives, a thin slice of tomato, or a bit of avacado. Great for the munchies!
