Deboned a turkey for grinding and decided to save half a breast for this unplanned cook.
https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/11/turkey-porchetta-food-lab-recipe.html
Used above recipe with these mods:
- dry brined the turkey couple of hours and omitted salt in the rub/paste
- added rehydrated dehydrated orange peel
- wrapped turkey roll in bacon weave
- cooked low and slow in Traeger Ranger at 250 till IT 150
Came out real nice/juicy, the orange peel kicked it up a notch! Should have saved the other half breast too.

Remember when teachers used to say 'You won't have a calculator everywhere you go'? Well, we showed them.

Looks great, Gary 👏🏾👏🏾 I think this would take more manual dexterity than I am capable of
I rediscovered lemon and orange zest last year. Makes a real impact on the flavor of whatever it goes into.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
Funny @caliking mentioned dexterity, this was almost a flop!
More info on the prep/cook:
- I used shrink wrap to tighten the roll sans bacon, then put in freezer 15 min to firm up. Would be easier if you have meat glue.
- Anyone can weave a bacon mat after watching online vids.
- I placed the roll in the middle of the mat seam down, then brought up mat from both sides, i.e. kept the seams opposite each other.
- Started cooking bacon seam down, about 10 min into the cook I took a peek and noticed the log started drooping. Panic mode! butcher strings saved the day
We use dehydrated peel in tea and baking too, so versatile and the price is right.
