At first I was asked to do pulled pork....for the family.....then I was requested to do turkey breasts. Then I was told that I needed enough meat for 25+!.....[p]So I ended up doing 5 Turkey breasts on Wed....all had sage butter rubbed under the skin..and spiced on the outside...and I smoked using Pecan wood. Total weight of breasts before cook. 51 lbs. [p]Then I picked up two pork loins that were 8 lbs each. I cut them into thirds and cooked the six sections on Thursday morning till the internal temp was 150 and let them sit in the cooler for a couple of hours. The were great. [p]My sauce ..to baste and serve with.[p]2 cups of fresh orange juice
2 T orange zest
2 cans of plain cranberry sauce
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t all spice
1/2 t ground cloves
