Spicy Smoked Turkey Taquitos

I seasoned a turkey breast with Montreal Steak seasoning's added cherry chips to my Masterbuilt smoker and smoked the breast for 3-hours at 230 degree's. I then deboned the breast and made turkey broth from the skin and bones.

Here are three tricks when making taquitos: 

1. Add potatoes to the meat;
2. Chop the meat into small pieces; and
3. When frying place the tooth pick side into the oil first.

In a cast iron skillet add 1-cup of turkey broth, 2-bay leaves, chopped potato, chopped jalapeño and 1/2 teaspoon of Montreal Steak seasoning's. Cover skillet with lid and simmer on medium until the potato absorbs the liquid. Remove bay leaves, mash mixture and set aside.


Add into skillet one cup of turkey broth and 4-oz of finely chopped turkey meat. Cover skillet with lid and simmer on medium until turkey meat absorbs liquid. Mix potato mixture and turkey meat together. Set aside and warm 6-corn tortillas.



Divide mixture into 6 portions. Roll 1-portion of the mixture in a warm corn tortilla and secure end with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining warmed corn tortillas.


Deep fry taquitos starting with toothpick side first. You want to fry this side first to secure the taquito from opening, just in case the toothpick fails keeping the tortilla secured. Frying 6-taquitos should only take 2-minutes to fry.

Placed fried taquitos on a paper towel to absorb excess oil, remove toothpicks and serve with Guacamole and Salsa.
