    Something Different

    Decided to change things up tonight and smoked a turkey breast. 5.5lb breast, dry brine (breast wasn’t pre brined or injected), Memphis dust, Weber 26”/SnS, KBB, pecan chunk, 90 degrees and humid. Temps held at 327-330 but SnS burned charcoal fast and I had trouble maintaining temp at end of the cook. Put the breast in the oven for a few minutes to finish it off.

    Excellent results. Moist, just the right smoke. Sliced for sandwiches on sourdough with romaine, heirloom tomato, and mayo. Corn, bean, avocado salad on the side. Great summer dinner. Click image for larger version

      Thanks, DavidNorcross. I agree. We eat a lot of turkey from the deli but rarely think about cooking/smoking a breast or whole bird unless it is the holidays.

      Turkey breast. The other white meat. We eat it year 'round, with lots of different rubs. My current fav is a homemade Indian Spice rub first seen in Bon Appetit in an article featuring a local Indian restaurant.

      Yours looks delicious!

        Agree! We smoke them for holidays but will make it a regular part of the year round rotation.

      Great looking cook!

      We like the turkey breasts since there are only 2 of us. Never smoked one. That'll be on the To Cook List

      The last time we talked about turkey breasts here, Steve R. turned me on to Aaron Franklin's recipe, which is top on the list for my next turkey breast cook. Here is a link he provided (it's also in Franklin's cookbook, he says).



      This is how Steve does his: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...468#post735468 . I think he uses one of Franklin's sauces to top it with. https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...892#post834892

        Yep! I recently made my first batch of Aaron Franklin's espresso sauce (also in the book), which takes the whole thing up a notch.

      I've been on the smoked turkey breast wagon for a while now but the wife keeps laying the kibosh on my plans
      She never lets me get anything
      I'm not taking her shopping next time so I can do what I want

          Any probs with the bones piercing the bag or do you remove the rib bones like Steve R. does?

          fzxdoc, I remove the bones. I don't even brown them anymore, just out of the bath and into ice to cool, then slice.
