Made a whole turkey breast for dinner and a boneless breast for sandwiches for lunch. Smoked with pecan and some hickory. Used a rub that fellow egger Mickey let me try and I must say it is quite tasty.

    That turkey looks great. I haven't tried turkey in my egg yet, but it's on my radar.

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

    tjv, picked it up from the commissary on base.

    mollyshark, I got the recipe from Mickey, don't know if it is posted on the forum. But if you ping Mickey I'm sure he can get it to you or Maineegg whom he got it from. At work now but will post it this evening when I get home.

    If Mickey got the rub from Mainegg it is possible what I gave her at the Sunshinefest thia past March. Now we have gone full circle 'cause you were the basis for the recipe last year. Thanks.

    Rub, "Kona Koast Rainbow Rub", W/Worcestershire Sauce, Richard Fl

    My friend, Al Katz-- AKA Hungry Man from the BGE Forum, recently returned from some "R" & "R" in Hawaii and brought back some Hawaiian Sea Salt and Kona Coffee beans. Asked me to make a coffee based rub. Did not have enough Kona coffee, (too D@%* expensive), so added a few others to make a decent size batch. Started with the great recipe Molly Shark has been sharing for several years and one found on the internet, made a few modifications.Thanks Al and Molly


    INGREDIENTS:
    12 Ozs Kona Koffee Beans, Ground fine
    4 Ozs. Hawaiian Sea Salt, White, add salt after the other ingredients so as not to over salt the rub
    10 Ozs. Turbindo Sugar
    6 Ozs. Indian River Rainbow Pepper or regular restaurant grind black pepper
    12 Ozs. Char-Broil Pulled Pork Rub, Pork rub of Choice
    6 Ozs. Jimmy Joe's Poultry Rub, Mild rub, little salt flavor, Jimmy Joe's Poultry Rub, (AC LEGG"S Old Plantation BBQ Rub #107)




    Procedure:
    1 Measure each item by weight. If not fine ground, run thru a coffee grinder. Each item by itself. Screen thru a vegetable wire strainer to get larger pieces out- re-grind them. Mix all together.


    Yield: 24 Ozs. /1 1/2 Pounds

    Recipe Type
    Rub/Seasoning/Spice

    Cooking Tips
    For these 2 rubs you may use your favorite pork or poultry rub. just make sure the salt is last added 'cause some rubs have more salt than others.
    I like it on beef, pork, poultry and lamb. I have a few friends that have done fish with it and were happy, I have not yet. Lightly on lamb as the koffee tends to overpower the flavor. Hoss swears it is eggtastic on brisket. Mainegg loves spatchcocked turkey with it. I like to use it when doing ribeyes and cowboy steaks. marinate for an hour or so. I am sure it will go well with anything you create

    2009/06/16-- Took the original "KONA" recipe and cranked it up for more, coffee flavor, salt and heat flavor.

    2009/08/14--Took this recipe and added 3 ozs Red Pepper, Fine and used 18 Ozs Old Plantation BBQ Rub #107 and that was used in place of the Jimmy Joes and Char Broil rubs.

    2009/12/12-- Took the basic recipe doubled it, used 36 Ozs Legg's, 6 Ozs Sea salt, 3 Ozs Red Pepper, 2 Ozs Chipolte, and 8 Ozs WORCESTERSHIRE Powder.

    Looking at your slicing pic, I had done that for years, but recently switched to carving each side of the breast completely away from the bone in one piece and then slicing each piece perpendicular. Easy to do and makes nice uniform slices.

    Turkey breast is one of my favorite cooks. Makes the best lunchmeat! Looks great. Your daughter sure is a cutie.
