    Brine or no brine

    I purchased two Honeysuckle White boneless turkey breasts. The label shows that they're already in an 18% solution. Would I necessarily gain anything by doing an additional brine before I smoke them, or am I just setting myself up for a salty mess?

    Thanksgiving How to Spatchcock a Turkey - Video

    The origin of the word "spatchcock" is debatable however, for our purposes, it simply means to "butterfly" the bird. Cut along both sides of the backbone and that Thanksgiving turkey will open up like a book allowing it to cook faster and more evenly. Here's a video showing how I brine...

    Mmm... leftovers.

    Tried a few new tricks this go around... overall I was pleased. The legs were injected and smoked - delicious as always. The rest of the bird, I pre-carved, dry brined, injected, sous vide and then smoked. Lots of work, but delicious.
