Marinated Turkey Breast on the Rotisserie

[Cliff Bartlett]

We'd had plans for a week now to have guests and their kids over yesterday. On Friday I made 24 abt's and put in fridge to be ahead of the game. My wife worked a few hours on making two fantastic salads and delicious dessert. I got up at 4:00 am yesterday morning to get a 9 lb. Turkey Breast in some marinade. My wife did housework yesterday and I mowed lawn and got grills set up. Then the phone rang and our guest said they wouldn't be able to come as one of them didn't feel too well. We decided to proceed as the turkey was practically done marinating and everything was ready. Here goes.

Here's my ABT's. These never made it to the grill. They're in a container in the freezer.

My Briner Bucket was a Father's Day Gift from my Wife. This is the 22 qt. bucket. I got the 8 qt. too. It worked great. I like the disk that locks in position and keeps your meat from floating. Brined for 12 hours using a Weber brine. Breast was just under 9 pounds.

Got the turkey on the grill. Using my rotisserie for this cook. Pepper only. Didn't want to chance too much salt after brining.

One hour mark.

Two hours.

Some Crashers on.

Corn too.

Just about done. Sitting at 163. 2 hours, 45 minutes.

Pulled Crashers after about 30 minutes.

Plated 'er up!

This turkey was delicious! Moist and very flavorful. Salt level was just perfect. Hope everyone's weekend was nice. Enjoy the rest of it. Thanks for looking!

Doesn't get much better than that, Cliff.

Thanks for posting about the brining bucket. Looks like a must have.

Was that a fresh breast?

Thank you everyone.

Never heard of crashers

Sorry Kemper. Crash Potatoes. Small red or gold potatoes cooked until fork tender. Oil baking sheet, smash 'em, brush with olive oil, a little S & P. On the grill for another 20 to 30 minutes.

Was that a fresh breast?

No Rusty, it was frozen. All I could find. That's why I was cautious with any additional salt.

Awesome cook!!!! Looks very tasty!!!!!!!

I should have reworded myself. When I said fresh, I meant was the breast injected with the typical factory brine solution. Since it was frozen, I assume is was pre-brined.

I imagine truly fresh turkey breast is difficult to find.

They're available up here around the holiday season. Didn't see any when I bought this one.

Cliff, outstanding cook and done just right. To bad about the ABT's, I'm sure they will get done very soon.
