Christmas Turkey Breast

ronnyballgame · 12-23-2006, 09:16 PM

A little early, but with everything going on, I had to do it today. Only the second Turkey boobs that I have done, and hopefully it will turn out good....

Looks mighty tasty- especially the skin. Did you finish on the grill to crisp it up?

It does look good and the same as VitaminQ asked did you finish it off on the grill to crisp it up??

What type of wood did you use to smoke it?

I'm doing a turkey breast today too!

I'm using hickory and some apple, vertically roasted at about 350. I put a little beer in the pan to keep the drippings from burning to a crisp.

Since I don't have a thermopen or polder or anything, I've got my BBQ Guru running things. I have insomnia and was up at 0130 this morning, but didn't want to make a lot of noise. So I didn't prepare anything until daylight, therefore not a true smoked turkey. More of a modified beer can turkey.

I did not crisp it up on the grill...sprayed it with some olive oil 3 or 4 times during the cook.....Used Hickory and injected it with a mixture of lemon juice and maple syrup...

Both turkey boobs look good! I hope they taste as good as they look!

Both do look awesome! Let us know how they tasted.

Just cut it up for the early lunch tomorrow. I had to try it. It was great. Even my finicky 7 year old thought iot was good. He even asked for another bite....The real test tomorrow when my mom tries it!

Thanks!

To be honest, I was disappointed in ours. It just didn't do anything for me. But, it was just a quick one whipped up in a hurry. I've done some before this that were the best turkey I've ever had. There's always next time.

Ronnie, glad yours turned out great. I hope your Christmas lunch is awesome, and sorry to hijack your thread.
