Senior Cook
Whew, I'm glad the holidays are over. I signed up for a little more cooking than I intended.
The Turkey breasts I ordered turned out to be huge. I ordered 20 boneless turkey breasts that were supposed to be between 4 and 7lbs each. What arrived were pre-injected frozen balls of meat that weighed 10lbs. Inside each ball were two breasts that were 5 lbs each! OK, I can deal with it. At least they included the skin wadded up on the bottom so I can reconstruct them. I opted not to brine them because they were already injected. I did rub them with a turkey rub I purchased on a post-thanksgiving sale. With the mass of meat on my Lang 60, it took 6 hours at 300 degrees to bring them up to temp.
They taste fantastic. They were much better then I anticipated. I still have three or four sitting in the freezer. Take a peak at the temp differences from right to left, top to bottom of my cooker.
