Turkey breasts at 60 above!! (What)

[Moonz]

Yeah is was around -15 last week.
Well got 2 turkey breasts from last years hunt.
Just threw together a dry rub, going on the smokin it 2 tomorrow.
So, I've only smoked whole turkeys with a wet brine overnight.
I'm thinking turn knob to 200 and smoke till 160 and wrap foil.
Any other suggestions in smokin it world.

You should brine it first, also I go 250 on all poultry.

+1!

Ok thanks pork belly, I agree. But I want to just try this. In the fridge with olive oil and the dry rub that's it, is  200 too low because  of danger zone?

Since poultry doesn't have a lot of connective tissue that needs to broken down like a pork butt, poultry doesn't really benefit from the low and slow technique.

So, 250 is what most around here use.

Wild is going to be pretty lean.  You might even consider laying some bacon over the top.

Ok maybe a good brine next time.
But turned out good, outside a little dry.
I put a stick of butter in between the 2 halves
And tied them together!

Good job, Moon!   This is the land of lazy Q, but experimentation is a beautiful thing!
