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???
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.
