Hey All was fortunate this year during our turkey season and i was wanting to use my smoker to cook up my bounty. I breasted out the turkey and was going to rub down the breasts and wrap them in bacon and was just wondering about Smoke time and the it i was shooting for. Thanks
I love wild turkey (not the drink ;) ) I brine mine for 12 hrs min before cooking them. Now I don't smoke hem I roast them in the SRG (CharBroil infrared)
Here is my basic brine I use.
8 oz bourbon (cheap stuff)
1/2 gal water
1/2 sea salt
1 Tbs white pepper
1 Tbs black pepper
1 cup apple cider vinegar
I do like TMB stated but in the smoker.
Smoke for 2 hr with Apple (or some other light wood like Alder or Cherry)
You want to pull outta the smoker when the IT hits 160 F and allow to rest 20 min before carving.
If you want to crisp up the bacon throw it under the broiler or on a hot grill inderect heat for a bit turning every couple min.
Thanks for advice. All went well it was moist and tender
