Since I'm "trying" to lose weight, we are going out for Turkey meal tomorrow.
That avoids having the leftovers around which I would not be able resist multiple times a day.
So the one I smoked today (3 hrs at 275) is all cut up and cooling in the fridge now.  Seems to be nice and moist.
Was pre-injected with 8% solution, and I brined it overnight.
Will be vacuum sealed and frozen one cooled.

Great Color!  Kristin has a 13lber parted out and in a brine right now.

I put it on the lowest rack of the CampChef smoker.
I think the mistake I made when I did the ribs in the CampChef, was the rack they were on was about a foot or more higher.
I think being on the lowest rack makes it more like a grill.

Nice looking bird.

I cut up two 12 pounders. Have the boned out breasts, 2 boned out thighs and 2 legs in a brine now. I will bag it up later tonight and SV them tomorrow, probably 175° for 6-8 hours on the dark meat and 145° for 4-5 hours on the white. Then I will take out dry and probably under the broiler for the breast skin to darken maybe just torch the dark meat. I will probably be the on;y one that eats the thighs and legs. I sealed up the wings and the otther thighs and legs ad put in the freezer.

 I think her family is coming so I won't have to be to concerned with leftovers, what they usually bring for the meal are empty containers for take home.
