Last year, I altered this process I found on Serious Eats

https://www.seriouseats.com/2013/11/the-food-lab-turkey-porchetta-thanksgiving-recipe.html

Rather than roasting in the oven, I cooked the breast in the sous vide at 140 degrees for 4 hours, then crisped the skin on the Weber Kettle. I am most definitely repeating this process again this year, but considering additions to the interior rub like cooked cremini mushrooms, shaved truffle, or maybe even another protein.

This process looks complicated, but was so easy and almost foolproof with the sous vide.

Ok now. This is likely happening this year! Looks AWESOME!

Did you follow the recipe pretty exact for the "cure" ?
 
Also, I wonder how much preparing ahead and then freezing would impact the quality. Hmm.
 
Looks Fantastic!

Note to self, might be time to get into sous vide...
 
Great job! I love the idea of keeping it moist by cooking via Sous Vide and then crisping up the skin on the grill.
 
So you just flatten both breasts then kinda overlap in the middle to make "one" large roast ? Def digging this approach.
