For a smoky flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the sauce. If you like a spicier barbeque, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. This barbeque turkey is also delicious served over cornbread or polenta. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
