My Daughter wants me to do a turkey breast on the egg for Easter. I have never cooked one . Do any of you have a recipe and how long should it take?
Thanks in advance. :)

    Set your Egg up for a indirect cook at 325.Rub olive oil all over the bone in turkey breast and season it all over with your favorite rub inside and out.A five to seven pound breast should take about two hours but keep a eye on the temperature and do not let it get above 160 degrees internal.Pull and let it rest 15to 20 minutes.

    Raised grid indirect with dome temp around 375ish, little pecan and cherry for smoke, rub under the skin but careful with rubs including sugar (turbinado sugar ok) as sugar can burn, 160 internal temp and done.

    Prior to putting the breast on, check lump for a burn pattern, if burning toward the back, set thick end toward the back to take the heavy heat while the thin end cooks slower.

    Man, I got one more of these in the freeze, may need to do it this weekend. T

    05/22/07-Did another tonight- Only took 2 hours between 275F & 325F. Basted W/Italian Salad Dressing after the first hour. Temp for meat got to 170F and pulled after 2 hours. Used pecan chips for smoke, not soaked. covered with foil whole cook so as not to burn skin. Left the drip pan out of this cook, perhaps that is the reason for the shorter cook time.
