Delicious Smoked Turkey & Wild Rice Soup is the perfect answer to the cold-weather blues!

Step 1: Preheat your recteq to 400°F burning the recteq Ultimate Blend Pellets and place a Dutch oven inside the grill and let it come up to temp.
Step 2: Add butter and oil to Dutch oven. Once butter melts, add onions, carrots, and celery and sauté them for 8-10 minutes.
Step 3: Add Chef Greg's 4 Letter Rub, Colden's Freakin Greek Rub, and flour. Cook for a few minutes, then add chicken stock, and whisk hard to dissolve the flour.
Step 4: Stir in rice, place top on Dutch oven and allow it to simmer 15-20 minutes, stirring periodically so the rice doesn't stick.
Step 5: Add turkey and mushrooms to Dutch oven, place the lid back on top of Dutch oven and allow it to simmer 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender.
Step 6: Stir in heavy cream, and at this point taste it to see if it needs any extra salt or pepper. Let come back to a simmer and serve.
