Turkey Breast

Hello,
Going into my third week of having my egg, I plan to cook a turkey breast this weekend. I have had outstanding results with a boneless pork roast, pork back ribs and chuck eye steaks with my egg. I am wondering the best way to cook the turkey breast. I did purchase the stands to hold whole chickens and turkeys...should I just plop the seasoned breast on a stand? I have learned a great deal reading the posts on this forum but I have yet to cross someone preparing a turkey breast. Any info would be great, thanks! Sirtom

    Sirtom,
    I usually just plop the breast, interior down, on the grill and cook it indirect around 325 degrees. I did a couple that didn't want to stand up, and I resorted to a V-rack to hold them.[p]HTH

    Sirtom,
    I just put one on. Indirect 325-250 until an internal temp of 160. I put a small amount of apple cider in a pan underneath of it. Turkey sandwiches for lunch :-) The best part though is that I'm on vacation at my parents house. I gave them an egg for Christmas so now when I'm here I can egg!!![p]John

    Sirtom, The prior advice is sound, just don't continually poke them to check the temp as you will loose that valuable juice.
    Did these two last week for lunch. tom[p]turkeybreast.jpg

    Sandbagger,
    Those beauties look like they are wrapped in netting. Are they the boneless type? Are you happy with the boneless?
    I have always done the whole breast with the bone in.

    Crab leg, boneless and tender. I did not check but they probably had a solution added. 3 to 4 pound Costco specials, about $10 a piece. Tom
