Turkey time

[Rookie]

I'm very tempted to order some TPJ, but I'd like some input. Who has tried it with smoked turkey? Which would be better? Texana, this is your product - which do you recommend?

TIA

Don't ever ask Texana nothin', less you want a sermon. :lol:

Rookie,

Welcome to the forum. Don't waste your time looking for testimonials TPJ is the best and I haven't seen a negative comment about it in the 1.5 years or so that I've been posting. It just comes down to identifying which of the flavors suites your pallet. The best way to find out is to order some of the offerings and form your own opinions. It's all good whatever you choose! 8)

[Rookie]

Yeah, but what would compliment the turkey the best. I'm sure it's all good, but I don't really have the time to test which one would be best. This time next year I'll be able to form my own opinion...

[Mac]

Rookie,

I don't think we ever had a thread about which TPJ is the best for any particular meat, probably because it is so subjective. We have talked about Ribs in particular, and the Peach based TPJs seems to always be praised. Don't recall anyone having a specific comment about turkey. Perhaps someone else can offer up a comment to help you.

Hi Rookie,

I've never used TPJ on Turkey. However, turkey usually does good with all things sweet, so I'd go with your favorite fruit from Texana's selections. Also depending on your preference for heat, the Jalapeno is less intense that the Habanero, although each loses a bit of their heat when they are warmed, so not to worry about too much heat if you're feedin' the wife & kiddies...

Now, if'n Texana would get on the ball... he'd come up with Cranberry Jalapeno TPJ around the holidays. Now THAT would be killer fer shure... :) Mix in the sweet/tart taste of the cranberries with the heat of the peppers... now that would be some good eats!

[Grumpy Gator]

Oh man! I wish I didn't think of that. Now I'm really cravin' some Cranberry TPJ for turkey. :(

[bbqguy]

I think that cranberry/pepper jelly thing should be seriously considered. Texanna could whip up a batch for a trial tasting at Q festivus.... :wink:

[herper]

I have used Texas Passion on turkey and it dissappeared quickly. granted Texas Passion is the handsdown favorite of 2 out of 4 people who ate the turkey, but it did blend well with the turkeys taste. Texana, the cranberry in both heat levels would add some holiday cheer to the table big time, or somekind of cranbeery concoction from that kitchen of yours. would we mislead you about so sacred a subject as TPJ????

I think the Cranberry is a great idea. Tex you need to work on that. Just in time for the holiday's! :)

[Grumpy Gator]

utoh... what have I started?? :roll:

[Mac]

Ya started something GOOD! 8)

[Mic]

FYI. Texana already makes a Cranberry Habanero TPJ! :roll: :roll: BTW, It is delicious on smoked turkey, rookie!

Well I'll be a floopeared fritterfooter, he does make Cranberry TPJ. Guess that I'll have to start looking past the Pineapple and Peach, and pay closer attention to the other items listed. :oops: :oops: :lol:

Rookie,
Ok Ok let's see here ..TURKEY hmmm,i say
TPJ- Pear Jalapeno,Cranberry,Apple,Passion. imo... in that order.I smoke only turkey wings and i'v tried these 4.
Anyone notice our great master Jelly maker ain't postin?That could only mean oneof 2 things,either he got hit by a bus,which well i hope that bus get's repaired quickly,or Texana's makin a huge batch of Jelly's for all of us to enjoy 8)
Ok i'm editing: i meant ain't no little bus going to hurt Texana,that would take a 747 landing gear on final approach at the very least :lol:
Crap! i know! no jelly's for me!
Yeah i know i'm like a crack *****, only with jelly's.

Mic

Thanks for the heads up...Got some on the way!

And *ahem* maybe just a few other Habanero flavors... :twisted:

Crpdeth

[Grumpy Gator]

I guess I stopped reading too soon also...

Oh well, off to the TPJ site to order some Cranberry... ummm... wait a dang minute... I'll be in Houston in two weeks.... Texana, fill my suitcase with Cranberry!

[david brace]

I been stumping for some strawberry rhubarb TPJ, but no answer from the management...Told him I'd pledge 6 jars...might have to boost it to 8...


DB

[KazQ]

Now that might be a brilliant combo.rhubarb is in season now i believe,and the tart with the sweet,well that sounds good.

[david brace]

Well, it's our favorite flavor pie here at home, and it does taste good. So maybe................. :) :) :wink: :wink:

I was going to order some, but $9.00 for shipping???

[Mac]

Texana does not make any profit on the shipping nor does he want too. What you are experiencing is the high cost of getting it from him to you, wherever that may be. Expect the trend to continue or get worse as the oil climbs and the cost is simply transferred to those who want products shipped. :(

You won't find a better person to deal with or a better product which ever way you go! :wink:

[Grumpy Gator]

Yeah, what Mac said...

Besides, the shipping is a nit. Where else you gonna get the best jelly on the planet? Well worth it, IMHO...

[Crpdeth]

I was going to order some, but $9.00 for shipping???

Order eight or ten jars and you wont notice the shipping so much. :D

Crpdeth

[Mac]

CRPDETH,

Good thought! 8)

[TexLaw]

That berry medley jelly also would go well with turkey. I've saved a jar of the limited blueberry jalapeno, as well.

[david brace]

Love that blueberry jalapeno

Texana personally delivered my TPJ to Llano, Texas. He didn't even charge me shipping and handling. If I remember correctly, I tipped him a dollar 8) . I hope he doesn't start expecting that every time, now :roll: .

[Rookie]

Well, I decided to order some - four bottles of it. Can't wait to try it...

[Crpdeth]

But then, Im a weirdo anyway.
