Smoked turkey breast lunch meat

[H. E. Pennpacker]

I have a couple of boneless turkey breast “roasts” that I had my wife pick up with the intent of making our own lunch meat from. I also have some Harvest Brine dry brine from Naturiffic which has made THE best turkey for the last 2 years hands down…but I digress. What I would like to do is use the Harvest Brine for flavor on the turkey breast but I would like to also cure it. So can I add Cure #1 to this brine recipe to accomplish what I want in turning this roast into smoked turkey lunch meat or is this not going to work for me?

The package on the Harvest Brine says it can be on there for up to 3 days but I know cure no.1 is going to need longer than that to get all the way through the turkey. So is this a poor endeavor or would this work?

Thanks in advance.

Skin on or no? Bone in or no?

I’m along for the ride, hopefully get a good deal on some turkey breasts to smoke n slice for lunch.

Some of those are chunks of either white and dark meat , or all white meat " glued " together . I don't think they're meant for brining . You need whole muscle .
Just depends on what you have .

They are the Butterball 3lb roasts. They say boneless but I don’t see any info about them being skinless.

It says made with turkey breast meat.

It says made with turkey breast meat.

It's probably tied or in a net . I bet it also contains a brine solution of sodium phosphate and enhancements . Those are good . I believe they can be cooked from frozen .
If it's all white meat it might be deboned , intact breast . The ones that have both are chunks . I also think they are made to be cooked in the netting or truss so they don't fall apart .
Those come out great as is in my opinion .
