First turkey breast

[Brad Olson]

Awhile back I cooked my first turkey breast on the 22" kettle with indirect heat and hickory wood. Overall it turned out OK, although some of the meat closer to the skin was a little bit dry - but I think I'm partly to blame as I took it off the grate about 5-10 degrees higher than I was shooting for. And now that I've given it a try, I think I'll stick to thighs and drumsticks.

After salting and putting butter under the skin, I had to keep the skin in place. Goth turkey rules!

It rested uncovered overnight in the fridge.

Looks tasty, wish I had a beast hanging out in the freezer.

Man that looks top class, the color and the level of juiciness is wonderful!

Looks fantastic! I have one in the freezer I’m going to have to cook.
