Spatchcocked Turkey breast

Pens, I am right behind you. With my travel schedule this will give me something to smoke and my wife who IS a turkey eater, something for lunch that wont get thrown away. Real good post ;)

Nice looking job pens. I may try that this weekend. Good practice for Thanksgiving. One store around here has the "Hotel style" breast on sale for .99/lb this week. That's no wings or innards.

Gee, you should have made a video ;D

Nice looking turkey pens and the serving is perfect, I thought I was the only one who likes peas.

OU I love peas. Especially frozen ones with the little white pearl onions.

The frozen ones are the best, the ones in the can are kinda mushie to me.

This turkey looks amazing. I am cooking one tomorrow. Brinning right now.
So glad I saw this. I may try my hand at the Spatchcock. Or maybe get hubby
to manhandle that bird for me.

OU & Arnie, I love most veggies. Peas out of the garden are great! But frozen are really good also.

Linda, This bird was not brined but the process will be the same either way. This was very moist even without the brine. I though spatchcocking a turkey would be difficult, really it was not that hard at all. I did use my knife to trim the meat along the breast bone cause it wanted to stay stuck to the bone.

Linda, you were warned! This is a sickness. One of the only cures is to send me your Bradley and then eat boiled food for at least six months ;D ;D

Hey,

What are those silver "pucks" I see in the picture?

That's the new aluminum flavored Bisquettes. A little tinny tasting, but works well. ??? Just kidding, they're called bubba pucks or the new JT pucks. They're used so you don't have to put good bisquettes at the end of your run.

Kevin got ya covered. These are only used to push the last puck off the burner when its done smoking. You do not need to use them, I did not for about a year, but the last puck will partially burn some. you can rotate it for the next smoke and reuse it but then its scrap. So all the aluminum pucks do is save a wooden puck here and there.
