So I have some fresh wild turkey breasts that I want to try smoking but never have.  How would you do it?  How have you done it?  Was it good or better yet out of this world???

Thanks,
Dan
 
It has been a while and was one of my very first smokes on an old cheap brinkman charcoal smoker. I would brine it with salt and either brown sugar or maple syrup for a day or two.
Mine was skinless so I wraped it with bacon and smoked it until it was done. maybe a little under cooked. If I remember correctly I did the legs and tighs as well and chopped them up with bbq sauce for sandwiches. They were both good.
If I am lucky enough to go turkey hunting and be successful this year I think I would do it the same way on my MES with apple chips. maybe change the brine and use apple juice instead of water.
