Turkey Breast Stall
«

I am smoking an 7# turkey breast this afternoon. On the smoker at noon with a set temp of 240F. Now at 3:30pm, and the breast has stalled at 154F for the past 30 minutes! No worries, don't need it to hit 165F until 4:30-5:00. I wanted to share this for folks that want to smoke a turkey breast to be aware that it does stall, so allow at least 4-4.30 hours for this sized breast.

Update: Approaching 5pm and the IT is now at 160F! I can't say that I have seen a 1.5 hour stall on a turkey breast before, but now I am in crunch ville!

I've done two in the past few months and both had a similar stall. 6 lbs took me a tad over 5 hours.

Finally pulled it at 5:45 pm...much more time than I expected. So this turkey breast that was more like 7.5# took almost 6 hours to reach temp. But, at the end, it was really good...nice smoke flavor!

That's wild, Steve! I guess I've never experienced a stall with poultry! I didn't think there was enough internal fat to do that, since it's evaporative cooling from all the rendered fat coming to the surface. Whoda thunk it!

I used just under 3oz of hickory for the turkey breast.
