Smoked Turkey Breast

mdpsych2 · February 2016

I recently smoked two turkey breasts (skin on with drip pan filled with apple juice) for two hours (160 degrees) at 325 and was pleased with the results. My son and I consumed one right off the grill and I wrapped one up for the week to munch on. However, the following day the turkey was dry. Maybe I should have stuck with the dark meat. Any Ideas as to how to improve the moisture?

You just need to wrap them and take them down to Shakedown Street....all will be good.

Good one....best ever opening lyric! Thanks for the advice. Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right....

Thighs, if you can find them by themselves, work much better.

In this situation, I'd suggest packing the meat in as close to a vacuum as you can. After 160F, the muscle tissue is holding almost no moisture, and any way what's left that can evaporate will.

And pack them with the skin. It is close to being gelatin, and when reheated w. the meat, will lubricate it.

Given your avatar, let me mention this. Search youtube for acid test diploma ceremony. I wonder what was being served from the BBQ.

Heard that once in Chi, at a venue by the old stockyards. I was seated about 180 rows back when Phil opened the Other one. I saw a ripple pass thru the crowd before I heard the notes.. When it hit me, I literally was lifted out of my seat.
