Pecan Smoked Turkey Breast

[tex_toby]

I did something yesterday that I haven't done in a long time......I broke out my Gator Pit out of my shop and put it to work! I think it's been over a year since I last used it. At any rate, I pecan smoked a whole boneless/skinless turkey breast from H-E-B. I heavily seasoned with SuckleBusters 1836 as I wanted a really bold, coarse, peppery crust. Mrs Tex followed through with some turkey gravy, sautéed mushrooms and a side of broccoli.

Super easy. Right at 5 lbs. Only took about 2.5 hours. Pulled at 162. It was perfect!

No injection?

None at all. I'm pretty sure these are pre-brined. Did not need an injection at all.

Nice plate!

[GRailsback]

Looks pretty good TT. Like you I haven't fired mine up in quite some time as well. But its time to get it ready for cookoff here in Houston.

The Counselor hooked me up with a turkey breast deal that turns out much like yours. Makes for a nice meal and some sammies down the road.

You should be ready for some samller britches by late next week at this rate.

Wow!

That turkey looks amazing, and so does the plate.

Well done, Sir!

looks like you had a great meal and maybe a few to come.

I like the size of these turkey breasts. But, the 18% solution weight annoys me. I hate paying for water. I just wish turkey breast was easier to obtain. HEB has the Honeysuckle split breasts sometimes, but they are much smaller in comparison

I did some of that type of cooking prior to retirement; we would load up and go to restaurant depo and buy them by the case which contains 2 breasts each about the size of a volleyball... maybe this will help you locate some?
