Gonna do a 5lb netted turkey breast this afternoon. More to follow.

Don't forget to post some pics Mike!

Sounds great,

Gator

I luv turkey! Big Mike, I've done a few turkey breasts over the years but never netted one. How does netting help?

Bill, The first time I used a netted turkey breast it was because I could get it at Sams for $12 for a 5lber whereas at my grocery store it was costing me 4.99lb.

I think the netted turkey breast comes out moister. Since it is folded over inside the net I think it holds in more moisture.

I've always brined mine and they're very juicy but I might just have to try your method out. Do you find the netting sticks to the breast meat or do you treat the netting prior to cooking?

Thanks

I have not treated the netting and it does stick some.

It's almost done. I did some boneless chicken breasts for the neighbor also. The chicken breasts are done and off to the neighbors, just waitin on the turkey.

Don't forget to post some pics, Mike!

Here is a couple of pics. They aren't the best pics, but the other ones I took turned out real bad.

The Turkey breast just has a little Tangerine Pepper sprinkled on it. The chicken breasts have my rub on them. I cooked them at 250 until the meat temp hit 167. It took the chicken breasts about 1 1/2 hours and the 5lb turkey breast about 3 hours. Normally if I am just doing the turkey breast it only takes about 2 1/2 hours but I had to open the door a couple of times to get the chicken out.

Thanks for the pics! Let's eat!!
