Time and temp for boneless turkey breast

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
I have 2 boneless turkey breasts that I would like to smoke today and be able to slice for sandwiches. They are both defrosted and sitting in the fridge. How long and at what temperature per pound should I do these? They are each a little over a pound and a half (quite small). Also, what woods would be recommended? I have hickory, apple, and jack daniels here. Thanks.[p]Aron

    Aron,
    My suggestion would be to put them in a brine (3/4 cup kosher salt; 3/4 cup suger; few whole allspice; few whole cloves; bay leaf - all in one gallon water) for 6-8 hours. Put on your favorite rub for 4-24 hours in the fridge; then put them on the egg with apple chips on a new fire and let the temp rise slowly to 325 (most of the smoking will be in the 100-250 range). Cook until temp is 175-180 - about20-40 minutes. Let sit for 20-30 minutes uncovered before carving. Have fun.

    Aron,
    I did mine for about 3 hours. Using Apple wood. Turned out great.
