I Finally Nailed Turkey

I did some more dumpster diving in the deep freeze and came out with a turkey breast. I've been a fan of @AppyEgger turkey injection in years past.

I switched up a few ingredients this time around. It's been almost 3 weeks since I've stepped foot in another building. I'm trying to do my part of staying home. So I had to do a little switching around with the ingredients I had on hand. 

The recipe calls for beer. No way in Sam hell am I going to waste any of my beers since I'm quarantined here at the house. So I ended up switching out the beer for 100% apple juice. I also typically coat the bird under the skin with Mickeys rub but I didn't have the ingredients on hand. So I went with Simply Marvelous BBQ Pecan rub. 

I wasn't expecting a whole lot from this bird but was I mistaking. I'm guessing I've done 25-30 birds on the grill and this one takes the cake. 

A few pics and the recipe below that AppyEgger posted if anyone is interested.

    Turkey is one of the best on the egg when you get it right!

    Sounds like you did with this one!

    I had no idea I had a turkey breast in the deep freeze. I knew I had one frozen turkey. Turns out I have two frozen turkeys. I'm loaded with turkey. That's a lot of Turkey with only two people eating it...
