Traeger Turkey Pellets
« on: November 05, 2019, 09:07:24 AM »

I just saw an email from Traeger about their new blend, Turkey Pellets.  While I appreciate what that brand has done for the industry and the weekly recipe ideas, I think a particular blend of pellets that someone thinks is going to knock their turkey smoke out of the ballpark seems a bit over the top to me.  Let the marketing machine roll on...

Could be you miss read it. Maybe they used some of aunt Edna's dried up turkey and put it in the pellets for turkey flavor.

You can bet plenty of people will buy them though, always looking for some kind of edge.

Traeger probably patented a turkey oil extract to be mixed into pellets during manufacturing.

I wonder if Pringles used these pellets to make their Roasted Turkey flavored chips.

Maybe they call them "turkey pellets" for other reasons?  Like rabbit pellets? :rotf:
