Boneless Turkey Breast Help

Curt Valencia

I need to cook two large breasts. I am wondering if direct or indirect would be better. What temp? Thanks,

500

Curt, usually someone would have responded to this question by now.  For chicken or turkey, I do a "raised direct" method, meaning I have the BGE grill extender on the main grate, to raise it into the dome more, for more of a convection oven effect, and less potential for burning.  I usually go about 350 raised direct, and towards the end, the chicken juices drop on the coals and create some additional smoke flavoring.  Chicken takes about an hour this way; 160 internal breast and 180 internal for the dark meat.

The only time I've done turkey breast, I did it indirect for about the same time and temp as 500.  With a few chunks of apple wood, it turned out really good.

I've done a bunch of bunch of boneless turkey breasts and always go indirect at 350 as well. Check out my attempt.

My vote is for 400 raised direct.
