Hi everybody,

So I am somking a turkey breast for the first time and was looking for some tips. I have searched the forum already and found some helpful guidelines but still have some questions to ask.

1) What is the ratio of cooking time to size of the breast?

2) What type of wood would be best? (I was thinking cherry or apple wood)

3) What should the internal temp be before serving?

Thanks!
 
5-6 hours is fine. I tend to sleep in so I mix the Brine and soak overnight, usually works out to 12-15 hours...JJ
 
I am doing a breast tomorrow my self. I want to inject mine with a mesquite marinade. Is it ok to inject the night before or should you only do it within hours of cooking? Thanks.
