Smoked Turkey Breast

Smoked half a turkey breast in the Traeger, came out nice and moist.

That looks fantastic, John!

I've got one in the freezer that's waiting for warmer weather!

I don't brine - do you?

That looks great John!

A little tip that I learned and will try it on my next TB......other than draping some bacon over the outside of the breast, lay a few strips 'under' the skin, as well.

Omg, that looks so delishhhhh - I could eat that right now for breakfast!

No I do not brine QSis. This past Thanksgiving I read somewhere about a test kitchen doing a number of turkeys various ways, brine/no brine, inject/no inject, etc, and then taste testing them. Turns out the one most preferred was done the old fashioned way, no anything, but basted in the oven; go figure.

That bacon sure sounds like a good idea to me AAB, bacon rules.
