Thanksgiving: One Legged Breast

[Joel Kiess]

Since it was a small gathering for us this year - just four of us - I did a turkey breast and one good sized leg.

Brined the turkey in a prepackaged mix my folks gave me a while back. Salt, orange, juniper and other spices etc. Took just over two hours on the WSM pushing 300 - 350. Was tasty and very moist.

BTW: It was a beautiful day. If hadn't been for the wind, we might of sat outside for dinner. Changed dramatically over night and got pretty chilly Friday.

Outstanding Colour Joel!

Sounds like your weather was the same as southeastern Wisconsin's...

 

[Marc]

That is some great looking turkey.

 

[Paul Kastner]

I feel sorry for the poor deformed turkey. but you did put it to good use.

 

[John Solak]

Very nice looking turkey!!

 

[Jeremy Calow]

Beauty colour, I would love that..

 

[Ed M.]

Super lookin' turkey breast and leg, Joel!

 

[Dave O]

Nice lookin turkey, I am curious do you get a smoke ring on a brined turkey ??

 

[Tom Rotta]

Nice breast. I liked the idea of adding a leg. I did a breast too. Didn't think of adding a leg. Well done.

 

[Mike Coffman]

Great looking turkey breast Joel!

 

[Morgan C.]

Nothing wrong with that!! Great looking bird! Love the color!

 

[Tony R]

Super lookin' turkey breast and leg, Joel!

Ditto what Ed said.... Nicely done Joel.

 

[Timothy Hoffman]

That is very nice! (I can tell you didnt get it at Walmart. It would have been a mutant bird with 3 legs and 5 wings!)

 

[Russell McNeely]

Very nice! Looks delicious!

Here's some sliced for sandwiches - no ring here:

I don't know that it's a characteristic of brined birds.

Thanks for all the comments folks!
