The weight of the turkey breast will affect the time you need to cook it. Figure about an hour per pound to reach an internal temperature of about 160*.
Some people like to cook poultry to higher temperatures, but turkey breast will rapidly dry out at much above 160. |

I would brine it first it that will help keep it from drying and add flavor.USe the search.

Howdy,Peter.
As said above, weight will determine the temp and time. I did several over the Thanksgiving holidays. They were all around 7.5 lbs.,and then split. I used Bigwheel's brine,posted on the forum,for 24 hrs. Smokin's would work well,also. I would have only left them in for about 8 hrs.,but a travel problem forced the change. I cooked at 240�+/- for 3 hours. They all read 158�-164� internal. Foiled a couple hours and then vac sealed them all. They were gushing juice,each time we pulled one from the freezer. |
