so..i accidentally left a turkey breast out on the counter for about 3 hours..it had just been taken out of the fridge..after realizing it i quickly threw it in the freezer to rapidly cool..it was still cool when i picked it up..think its okay to smoke still?

Give it a good wash, dry it and apply your rub or brine...no need to worry, just wait 30 minutes under smoke or in the oven before sticking it with the probe thermometer...JJ

i only have one pic of the cook.. 

the one on the right is a butterball breast pre brined and seasoned with cajun style seasonings..

the left is brined and seasoned by myself

i have no pics of these current projects as i wasnt eating them..instead i was paid to stare at these breasts all day... 

tho i do have a pic or two of the breast i did just a week earlier which was brined and seasoned the same as the breast on the left..

it came out great..was juicy..great smoke ring..
