My wife has requested I smoke a turkey this Thanksgiving on my RecTec Trailblazer. She's specifically requested their cajun turkey recipe, which calls for a whole turkey injected and seasoned with Tony Chachere. I've never smoked a turkey, nor injected any meat, and the Trailbazer limits me on size, so I have a few things going against me (only recently got into smoking). I was thinking it might be easier to start with a turkey breast, which should be plenty for the 4 adults and 2 kids we'll be feeding and much easier to slice.
For the end result, would I be losing anything by smoking just a breast as opposed to the whole thing (aside from the obvious... turkey legs)? Thanks for any input!
