I call it TURK- FIL-CHICKEY-LA ….Brand new recipe I am trying tonight. Didn’t read it anywhere but thought about it yesterday.
The brine recipe is on one of the pictures below. FYI… there is a difference between dry measuring cups and liquid. Use the individual metal for dry and the glass Pyrex type fr liquid. Don’t believe there is a difference? Measure out a cup of something in the individual metal measuring cup and pour it into a Pyrex glass measuring cup. . It’s not equal, it will be less than the cup line on the glass.
I marinated a turkey breast overnight in this Chick Fil A Baptism Brine. This Chick Fil A brine is as close as you will ever get to the real deal. Very easy and inexpensive. I have not included the recipe for the breading because I’m not frying this. However, I bet it would be good!.
Soaked the Turkey breast overnight in the Baptism Brine
Rinsed and patted dry
Seasoned with KosmoQ. Killer Honey Bee and Dirty Bird
Used the TRAEGER Turkey pellets but did not use their brine.
250 degrees TRAEGER temp
Pellet Tube about 30% full with the Turkey pellets
Total cook time about 5 hours… I don’t cook to time but I keep track of it.
Pulled at an internal temperature of 163 to allow it to rise to 165 when tented with foil and resting
Absolutely delicious. Maybe try a sweeter rub with less salt if you are sensitive. About the first 1/4 -1/2 inch is where you will taste any noticeable salinity but it’s delicious. Deeper than that and it is a juicy and delicious turkey breast with no noticeable salinity. It has a mild smoky flavor with no lingering aftertaste which is what I like on turkey. In my experience, Turkey has a really small window of going from good to gross.
IMO The Chick Fil A brine is fantastic on turkey. It’s subtle, delicious and different.
I have no idea how to attach a picture so here is the brine recipe

1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
