Is it safe to refreeze turkey breasts?

Well now,I ain't no expert on gobbler breasts,but I've cooked more than I like to admit.

If it isn't too late,and they have lots of ice crystals left in them,break them into their pieces,with your paws and something like a chisel,while they still have lots of ice crystals left in them.



Keep out what you are going to cook,plasic bag the individual pieces you want to refreeze.

Now this ain't brain surgery,and I assume each of the pieces are going to be eaten,nor entered in no beauty contest.

I'd brine up the pieces with Smokin'Okies brine for 6 hrs,or overnight and cook them to 160* internal.

That post you linked to probably means something,about something,but I'll be dipped if I can conjure up what.

It made my head hurt,tryin' to figure what.

Maybe one of our gobbler experts will chime in later.

Just my $0.02

Tom, your 2 cents is always welcomed...on any smokin' topic. They're still pretty frozen. I'll try to crack them apart...but, it's a solid block.

Yessir,I figured your goal was to cook and eat some,and save the others for the next project.

I'm sure there is a perfect way to pull this off,but I'd rather be eatin.

Usually, when I have some meats stuck together from the freezer, I just run some cold water on the part stuck together. This will usually loosen them up enough to get them apart and not defrost the whole mass. Once apart, wipe off the ones to go back in the freezer and put them in.

I've heard that it is safe to refreeze meats if the were defrosted slowly in the refrigerator but not if thawed by sitting at room temperature.

You can safely refreeze meats ,as long as they are kept below 40*.

The quality can go down a bunch in refreezes.
