Smoked Turkey Breast

[Wasi]

Decided to smoke a turkey breast this weekend. I brined it the night before. Added my rub and smoke it at 250 for about 3 hours until it hit 165. Next time I think I will be taking it off at 145 and putting it in the oven at 350 till it reaches 165 so we can get crispy skin. It still tasted really good I just like good skin with my birds.

Oh man that looks good. Get a nice sourdough bread and Oh what a sandwich!!! I just don't understand why turkeys are so hard to find all year except around Thanksgiving, at least where I am. Nice job on the smoke.
