Do you have any tips on smoking turkey breasts?

---

That's what I've started doing even though I prefer the dark meat. Nobody else in my family does.

I buy the breast by itself. Sometimes bone in, if it's in the meat case that way, or boneless skinless frozen. Either way, I smoke them boneless/skinless.

I do it "Texas style" - salt and pepper and smoke till the rub is set (about 135 internal).

Then wrap in foil with a generous amount of pats of butter on bottom and top. Add a splash of apple juice and seal and continue on the smoker until it hits about 150 or a little over that.

Let it rest for at least 45 minutes. Juiciest and most tender method I've ever tried. I don't really like turkey breast normally, but I love it like this.

Tamales!

mayo, salt and pepper and small splash of vinegar. Sometimes I go crazy and use the juice from jarred jalapenos instead of the regular vinegar.

Use an immersion blender

Yep. In a jar that it just barely fits in.

In gravy is my favorite, but I have sliced them into fingers and fried like chicken. Nice and crispy.

Dang. Hate to hear that. I was wanting to try one.

Gross. Beans and seafood don't mix

I've never had it but there isn't zero chance that dish is anything but delicious.

Coach O says if you can wait till Oxford, get the chicken on a stick. "Best he's ever had."

It isn't what I grew up with, but I've become a fan of thin vinegar NC style sauce. This website has a lot of good info on that style of 'que and a sauce recipe... scroll down for sauce A.

If I were you, I’d invest in a good drip maker that keeps water to gold cup standard (Bonavita) & a good burr grinder (Baratza Encore)

Agree. When I decided to make a better cup at home without going crazy, I bought an Oxo grinder and Oxo 8 cup drip machine. It basically has an On and Off button. Makes single cups too.
