Smoked Turkey Breast (Hickory Smoked)

[kelbro]

Thank You!!
Yes, the Breast was enhanced, so I didn't inject or brine it.
It was very moist throughout.

Just now found this, looks wonderful!! I havent tried one yet. When you say the breast was enhanced I got some visuals but prolly not what you meant! What does it refer to in this sense?

No Silicon involved.:D
Enhanced meat can be defined as fresh, whole muscle meat that has been injected with a solution of water and other ingredients that may include salt, phosphates, antioxidants, and flavorings.
Regular meat can be defined as fresh, whole muscle meat that has not been injected or marinated.

Bear, I took your turkey procedures and smoked my first turkey breast this year. I have to say that I was a bit worried, thinking that it would be dried out or not done properly...Man was I wrong!

Bird before going to the smoker and when it was in the box.

at 2 1/2 hours in, just before I put in the remote temp probe

Just before I begin the slicing operations...​

Everything came out great...The breast was quite moist, and when I cut into with the electric carving knife, the smoked aroma that came from the bird was mouth-watering. The wife has volunteered me to do a whole turkey for next year when family can join in again...Guess I'll be practicing some in the mean time.

Thank you so much for your "Step by Steps"...your work helps us beginners turn out a darn good meal...
