Easter Turkey Breasts w/Pix

I had 2 5lb boneless, skinless turkey breasts to prep for dinner. I know this is blasphemy for some, but turkey skin seems to be a waste of time and seasonings for me. All the flavor goes on the skin, which some like and some don't. But, skin helps keep the meat moist.[p]So with these 2 breasts, first I brined with the recipe posted by Molly last night, with small changes. I rubbed one with Witchy Red and the other with Tom Douglas Chicken Rub, then rubbed them with mayonaise like some of you do w/salmon. After one hour at 325, I added bacon strips. You gotta admit, bacon tastes better than turkey skin. I smoked them w/Guava and cooked indirect for 2 1/2 hours til 165 internal. The results were really good. Here's the pics:

    Borders,
    Those look wonderful Scott! I did ours turkey breast very simple... rub with olive oil and coat with Tsunami Spin. Egged at 320 until internal of 165.[p]My probe is shot so I winged it and checked periodically with the thermapen. Now to find replacement probes.[p]Banker John
