1st go at smoking a turkey

[adamr]

Decided to smoke a turkey to take to my parent's house for thanksgiving. My mom was roasting one, so I decided to just do a small 5lb breast.

Brined overnight using Tip''s slaughterhouse recipe which is amazing by the way. Used Montreal chicken for a rub.Smoked the breast at around 250 because that's as high as I could get my little landmann electric to hold. Took about 4hrs to get internal temp to 165.

Finished product. It was a big hit at our family gathering. Everybody said it was excellent. Skin wasn't as crispy as I would have liked, but I think that's just due to not getting my smoker to hold a higher temp. Sorry i couldn't get more pics for Qview. Anyways, thanks for giving it a look and Happy Thanksgiving from Memphis.

Looks great!

The turkey breast I did today was boneless, and when I opened it to brine, I noticed it was also skinless.

I will have to look for a bone in breast next time.

Ain't that the truth! I'm guessing she was expecting alot more people because there was a bunch of leftovers. My turkey was picked clean though.
