First Turkey Breast in the #2
« on: August 11, 2015, 01:25:36 PM »
Had this in the freezer so I thought it would be good to smoke this one.  It was almost 10 lbs before I cut out the backbone so it would sit better in the smoker.  I decided not to brine as it said it had a 18% solution so I just put on a coat of oil and Weber"s Kick'n Chicken rub.  Smoked with 2.7 oz of cherry at 250 till IT hit 165. No water pan. Took about 4 hrs.  Turned out very good, ate half and froze the other half for another meal. Skin looked good but as usual too rubbery.

Well done, Dave!  Nothing like a good turkey breast, even if the skin is a bit rubbery.

Sounds like that was really easy and quick smoke. Also looks really tasty.

One of the easiest piece of meat to smoke. I really like turkey breast in the fall. I did one a couple of weeks ago, 250 to 165 IT is perfect.
