Foxman Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I’ve never liked turkey if I’m honest. A lot of Thanksgivings', I don't eat any of it at all. The closest I come to tolerating it is the dark meat. I decided to get a turkey breast, (bone-in) and followed Jeremy Yoder’s (Mad Scientist BBQ) recipe injecting the breast with butter mixed with ancho chili powder and chipotle chili powder. Smoked at 200 for 2 hours, then 325 till it hit 165 IT, roughly another 1.5-2hrs. Just salt and pepper for the rub. Smoked with Pecan. Oh.... my.... goodness. By far, the best turkey I’ve ever had. I think I can eat turkey after all. Annnnnd, my father-in-law is handing over the reigns to me to provide the bird for Thanksgiving. I gave him a sample and I think he gave me the biggest compliment he ever has given me when he said it was the best turkey he's ever had. (He is a man who doesn't normally throw rainbow bouquets around.) Link to video if anyone is interested: 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanWex Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I can tell you that the only goose meat I've ever had that tastes better than turkey is the sirloin. It was the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. But your turkey appeals to me, too. I'll use your recipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I've smoke our Thanksgiving turkey for the last 6 years or so and before that, it was the deep fry method. But, now I smoke them and do the "spatchcock" method which cooks everything way more evenly and takes far less time. Always a hit for those who love turkey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I always butterfly my Turkeys... since doing so, they turn out even and are easier to handle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxman Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 @Schu that bird looks like it stayed too long in the sun! 😀. I havent spatchcocked a turkey, but have done that with chicken, definitely an even cook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the episode that has this recipe...Pattie skipped this part... In a pot with salted boiling water, cook the potatoes and the carrots for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. Drain and reserve. Her explanation is in the comments... This recipe sounds very good. I am wondering, however, about the step to cook carrots and potatoes separately until tender. The following steps include cooking the brisket after it is sliced and covered with the sauce for an additional hour in 30 minute increments. What does the additional hour of cooking time do to the vegetables that have been tenderized? I look forward to your response. Thank you for an authentic, informative and enjoyable cooking show. Reply Pati Jinich May 24 Oh it helps to make sure the carrots and potatoes are cooked, but you can cook them just with the sauce as well, Caroline. Enjoy!
