Skinless Turkey Breast

cinmur · Feb 27, 2013

Anybody done skinless turkey breasts? Since I am a poultry consultant, I have access to turkey breast taken directly off the bird...no processing or injections, but directly off the bird into my freezer...They are literally cut right off the breastbone. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Want to do them on PBC.

I'd brine it, and then have at it on your PBC.

Yeah, you definitely need to keep that breast from drying out. Brining is a great idea. Maybe drape it or wrap it with something with some fat in it, like bacon or prosciutto. I know that kind of kills the health advantage of turkey breast, but the biggest challenge of smoking turkey breast is keeping it moist and tender.

I like to add fresh herbs, especially fresh rosemary, into my chicken and turkey brines. You can really taste it in the finished bird.

Brine, rub, cook to 165, easy. Maybe through some light fruit wood on the coals.

I'm with CD, I'd wrap it in bacon to help keep it moist.

Brine it and cold smoke it over a pan of ice then grill it or batter it and do Kettle Fried Turkey.
