Felt like some turkey but wanted it just for 2 people and not with a ton of leftovers, found one of these 3 lb Butterballs in the frozen case. I was reluctant at first as it was one of those that "Contains up to 20% of a solution..." but figured it would save me from having to brine and or inject.
It thawed in 24 hours in the fridge and I dried it off and threw away the gravy pack and rubbed it with some Killer Hogs BBQ rub and also oiled up a head of cauliflower and used the same rub on that.
Threw it in the Yoder at 325 till it hit 160 degrees and then let it rest almost 10 minutes and the temp peaked at 166.
Served it with the cauliflower and some homemade pickled onions and celery.
It was actually surprisingly good and juicy, but not much in the cajun flavor department.
Will be buying more of these and even slicing some for lunch meat.
