Hello - I'm trying out my second turkey breast and hoping for great results. I'm also doing leg quarters which have always been pretty failproof so far. Here's what I've done so far....
Brined the turkey breast overnight in Tip's brine recipe. This morning I rinsed the turkey and patted it dry and then poured a little oil over it. I put some pats of butter under the skin and rubbed it all over with a rub I mixed up with what I had on hand. I oiled and rubbed the leg quarters as well.
Here are pics of the rubbed poultry and the food in the MES 40. I'm using the Amazen Pellet Smoker tray for the second time today. The first time I tried to use it it kept going out, so I gave up and used the wood chips. I'm hoping I can keep it burning today so I don't have to keep feeding wood chips. I removed the chip chute from the smoker and pulled out the chip tray a couple of inches. So far I don't see much smoke but I'm going to check again shortly. I'll keep you posted with how it all turns out!
