Title: Turkey Breast
Post by: triplebq on September 15, 2017, 06:51:38 PM
Super easy to fix

1.  Inject Turkey Breast with Cajun Injector Creole Butter Marinade [Note: I removed the skin from the top of the turkey].
2.  Into the fridge overnight.
3.  Coated with Salt and Pepper. The ration was 1 part Salt to 1 ½ parts Pepper. Just good old S&P.
4.  Smoked for about 2 hours @ 265 or until temp reaches around 140 or so.
5.  Coat the Turkey Breast with butter and wrap in foil.
6.  Pull with temp hits 160 – 165 degrees.
7.  Let rest then slice.

That looks great. I make something really similar except I brine instead of inject. It's one of my most requested meats for parties.

I have not made a turkey breast for awhile.  I need to rectify that.  Nice work.

Do you have a deli slicer? I can get massive 5 pound breasts from a local restaurant supply place. I usually cook them the day before, then cool overnight in fridge. Slice moderately thin on the slicer next day, and pour the warmed up butter/juice mixture over the slices before gently warming the whole pan. It stretches the yield a little bit, and makes for a nice uniform pan of slices.

I do have a slicer. Never thought about slicing thin for sandwiches. Will give that a try.

Had a party for our granddaughter a couple weeks ago. Did a turkey breast, and did about 3 pounds of bacon on the pellet grill. Had brioche buns, lettuce,  tomato, pickle, mayo, mustard, onion, and BBQ sauce for a kind of make your own turkey club buffet. Worked out great.

I too brine, but I think we can all agree that moist turkey breast is a perfect fit for a pellet grill.  So well received by the crowds.

Very nice, triple! How much did the breast weigh? And when injected did you use all of the marinade?

I purchased the breast from Restaurant Depot. I believe the breast weighted about 5-6 pounds and was made up of 2 smaller breast like you see above. Sorry but I'm going from memory. I injected each breast with about 8 oz or more of marinade.

That earns a higher score than any turkey breast I've ever cooked.

Did you cook it on the FEC 120? or one of your other cookers?
If it was cooked with pellets, what kind were they?

It looks great.

I believe this one was done one the FEC-120 but I have done them on my Grid Iron. I use LumberJack Oak Hickory Cherry blend.

Yes boneless. My local Restaurant Depot and Chef Store carries them.
