    Smoking Turkey Breasts

    Smoking Turkey Breasts

    Starting this one tomorrow morning. The high here in VA is 70 today but it's supposed to be 48 with a wind chill of 20 tomorrow morning! Perfect time to fire up the smoker! I've got 2 turkey breasts, totally 15 pounds! I do a non-traditional way and I pull the turkey like a pork shoulder. The...
