Turkey question, a little different

titan7 · Nov 23, 2014

Hey I am doing a couple of the natural turkey whole breasts I believe the ribs are still attached. Going to brine them and smoke they on my WSM. So is there a general guideline for brining time, do I have to let them sit after brining? How long?

Last question I plan to cook at 275-300 until 165 IT. I did not have time for a test run this weekend so any help you can offer is appreciated.

I would brine at least 12 hours, and then dry and put in the fridge to dry the skin out for about 4 or 5 hours if possible before cooking. I would cook at 350 if possible, and pull when the breasts reach 155 _ 160. Really no need to cook any higher. They should be done in less than 3 hours. Good luck!

Blessings,

Omar

Thx, forgot to mention they are 7lbs each.

7 pounds each, they should be done in about 2 hours then. Just smoke until the breasts are up to temp and you will be good to go!

I think I read somewhere 1.5 hours per pound brining and then let it sit in the fridge uncovered to dry it off.
