Thanksgiving 2025 Prep.

[bmudd14474]

Was able to get some turkey breast for $.79/lb. Thawed them out today and boned them out. Right around 20lbs of bone in breast ended up being just over 10lbs of meat. Keep that in mind when calculating your meat for the day. We will still have more loss during the cook.

Make a brine with salt, season salt, brown sugar, garlic, and onion powder. Put in a mixing bow and added hot water to dissolve everything.

Next added ice to bring down the temp

Next I added it to the ta ta's for a overnight soak.

Ill get these cooked up tomorrow then will sous vide on Thursday.

Ill add more tomorrow along with the tender loins Ill be doing.

Took the ta ta's out of brine and dried for a bit. Then a simple salt and course cracked pepper.

Then opened the pork tenderloin and got it into a marinade of thyme, rosemary, garlic, and salt in a grapeseed oil

More to come
