Today I used the Minion method with sand for the first time. I coooked two turkey breasts (with bone) and a pork butt ~5 1/2 pounds. The pork turned out great.
The turkey turned out good, but not great. It was a little dry. I did baste often with apple cider and white wine. Cooking temps were ~245-250 pretty solid the entire cooking time (except during basting of course). I have never done turkey before, but when my father does they turn out very moist.
Did the switch from water to sand cause the turkey to dry out a bit? Anyone else tried turkey over sand

Note: The turkey still turned out quite good!
