Buckboard Bacon question

[MRH]

Has anybody trid using BBB on a turkey breast?  I have one from a wild turkey my son shot this spring and thought it might be neat to try it that way, any thoughts from the experts???

Thanks,
Mark

No...never tried in on anything other than pork.
I don't even have a guess as to what it would taste like.  Do you have a goal or indication what it might turn out like?  Are you looking for flavoured turkey, or turkey bacon?  What the heck give it a shot and let us know.

If you're into Hi-Mtn, give their game bird and poultry brine a shot.  I have done it on several chickens and its great!  Maple based brine, I smoke with maple pucks.  It awesome, you just have to get past the fact that the meat is pink, and will stay pink, until you cook it so long it goes to black ;)

That would be my vote unless you are wanting to try turkey bacon.

I have brined one before with Tender quick and some other seasonings wrapped in bacon in another smoker.  That was  before I got the Bradley and it turned out like a ham, real tasty.  I was just wondering if anybody had ever tried it didn't really have any goal on the flavor, thought it might be interesting to try since I have a package of the BBB.

MRH,
I would suggest the brine cure also. I think you will get the breast to salty if you dry cure it. Here is a link to HM.

Let us know how it turns out.
Also, if you removed the skin when you dressed the bird, you may want to use bacon on a upper rack to keep the meat moist while smoking and cooking.
