Boneless Turkey Breast

[Clint]

I picked up a boneless turkey breast from costco a not long before Thanksgiving and it spent most of its' time in the freezer...... I thawed it, then brined it in the Jack/Maple (Makers Mark actually), then onto the gasser it went.

Salad / Rice

(these slices are mostly pretty thick)

I really need to quit baggin on my slicer - it's been in retirement since <2009

Home-made Ranch (holy shiz-nit - it really iz good)

I know, my photog skills suck, I'm humbled here among most of you fantabulous cooks. Thanks to all of you and have a very merry Christmas.

Now that's a sandwich! Nothing wrong with the photo skills, we get the point and it still looks great.

Clint;
This post REALLY stikes a chord in me. We were visiting our daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren in, guess where? Salt Lake City! Yep, sure enough! This was in November over Thanksgiving. The ladies wanted a traditional oven cooked turkey with all of the trimmings.

Ray had won a 12 lb. turkey in a muzzle loading rifle match and we were concerned about whether or not there would be enough turkey for lots of left over sandwiches (definitely a big plus when having turkey over the holidays). Ray and I decided to get a Boneless Turkey Breast at Costco (could have been the same Costco where you got yours ). At any rate, it looked like the mate to yours (two large turkey breasts, boneless, pressed together and wrapped with a mesh bag).

We put them on Ray's Mini-Joe Smoker on the top rack with NO deflector and a couple of pieces of apple. We ran it at about 350 degrees until the internal temp was right, checked it all over with the Thermapen, (it required just a few minutes more due to Maverick probe placement). It was PERFECT! In fact, Ray ate one slice and stated that as far as he was concerned, he would just buy breasts next year as he LOVED it. As you have discovered this is a great way to have turkey. Maybe not the only way but certainly one GOOD way!

I took no pictures but yours made up for it.

Here's to Salt Lake City!

Keep on smokin',

thanks people The next sandwich was even better with 2.5 slices of bacon

Thanks for the story Robert, I agree - this really is a good way to do turkey!

And speaking of "Here's to SLC" - I'm off to catch some more of this!
