Title: Smoked Turkey Breast
Post by: ClimberDave on September 01, 2016, 01:40:28 PM
After having some juicy and delicious smoked turkey breast  in Austin earlier this year I have been wanting to try  my hand with turkey.
Hardest part was finding a store with turkey breasts.  Finally located some but they were  pretty small  just a hair  over  2 lbs  each.

I brined them  over night  then  injected them with a mix of butter, chicken stock and creole seasoning

Then hung them on my PBC.

They took about 2 and a half hours before they reached 160.   I let them rest a while and then packaged them to be eaten later.

Overall they were pretty good  but not nearly as juicy as the  turkey  I had  in Austin.   They did make a  pretty good turkey salad for sandwiches tho.

Sounds Great! But the pics didn't show up at least they didn't show up on my computer. :)  If pics are giving you an issue as they did with me, try using the tapatalk app its super easy to use.  And it has to be for someone like me to figure it out :D :D

Thanks for the kind words  everybody,  they were  pretty tasty!
