« on: June 24, 2014, 06:05:47 PM »
Want to try a bone in turkey breast so here's the question.The one I found says minimally enhanced with a 18% solution of water salt etc,so do I need to brine or just rub it down and put in smoker?Thanks in advance.

Rub it and smoke it.  I brined an injected breast once, and it was way too salty.  They have essentially injected it with a brine, so try it as-is.  Give it a good olive oil coat and rub.  Brining is fantastic, if used on a bird that has not been "technically altered!"
