Turkey Breast Unbrined Cooking TIme

Former Member

Have a 5.13# Turkey breast that I injected with a solution of chicken broth, balsamic vinegar and cookshack spicy rub, letting it sit over night. Just curious on the approximate cook time at 225 degrees. Is 50 to 60 minutes per pound a good guide to follow? And I know its done when its done, just trying to get a idea when it should be done. Thanks in advance for the help. Z

I would forget about time and go with internal temp 160ï¿½, You will find that
brined or injected poultry will cook faster than non brined/or injected.
Cooking at a higher temp will also be fine.

I agree with Jim about internal and cooking at a higher temp.Breast is probably the most critical of internal temp. you will cook IMHO.

When Jim says pull at 160ï¿½,he means as it hits 160ï¿½.

If you are thinking about meal timing,I'd think more like 45 mins./lb.

You can also pull it about 157ï¿½,double foil it and hold it in a cooler for a couple hours.It will rise another 3ï¿½to 6ï¿½ and be plenty moist.
