Just put these 7lb Shady Brook Farm (enhanced) breasts on, which are very good, especially for $.99lb. Smoking over Kingsford BLUE with apple wood. It's cold and rainy out, had these not been thawed and I didn't have to work tomorrow, they would NOT have been done today!

I cook alot of enhanced turkeys, it's one of the things that I do like. Although, self brined birds are FAR superior, at least the Shady Brook Brand are pretty darn good, especially for the price!

Then I will see if I can find the Shady Brook Brand up here? I was going to brine one myself but I've not did one yet so that sounds easier.
Thank's Larry.

They also sell fresh birds, so make sure you read the label carefully to make sure you get what you want!
 
First one is done!

I cut it in half because the customer requested it that way as she's by herself and can't eat a whole lobe at once. So she'll receive 4 vacuum bags vs. 2.

Well whut a fortuitious circumstance. Just last night the warden directed me toward the freezer and demanded I look at 2 9 pound turkey breastes of which I am supposed to turn into TD dinner at a yet future date. These I got are Honey Suckle White brand and I dont think they are pumped. Standing by for instructions :shock:

As long as they're not injected, follow THIS recipe, but cut the total volume of brine by half for just the breast. If you don't have alot of time you can also inject this brine a couple hours ahead of time.
 
Wow I hit that link and felt like I had just took a cool sip of water out of a fire hose. Thats some very good and detailed instructions. Now you gonna need my help on the brine:)

Trust me on the brine and don't worry about Table Salt vs. Kosher Salt.....I think that's where you're going, but if you never trusted, please do so just this once!! :LOL: The brine is great on turkeys.

Those are beeeeutifull Larry.

How long and at what temp did you pull them. Details man.

Cliff these took around 5 hours in the 245º-260º range to hit 160º.

Larry, that's $8.00 per pound in the deli! I did one last week for lunches for me and the family for the week!

I sell these for $50 each and the people get 2 vacuum frozen bags with half breast in each.
