Bought a turkey breast last month and threw in freezer. Took it out 2 days ago to thaw. Mixed up a batch of Smokehouse Rob's Apple juice turkey brine (made half batch as just was a turkey breast.)http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showthread.php?21-Apple-Juice-Turkey-Brine-by-Smokehouse-Rob
After getting the breast ready to brine I looked at the tag....I can kick myself because I didn't look at the price when I bought it! If I knew it was $1.69 a lb I would have got more!

To be continued.....
We will be watchin...
Looks like a nice start. Can't wait to see the final result.
Thats gonna be gooooood.
Great start,----- and great price.
Ditto... Great price. 1.99/lb is a 'deal' here.
Brine rinsed off, patted dry, and a sprinkle of Jan's Rub(can't have no poultry with out it)and put in fridge to dry overnight. Plan is to start the butt with apple for 1 hour then add the turkey for 3 more hrs of smoke.

Turkey is done! Didn't worry about crisp skin, this is going for sandwiches mostly.
