Cooking turkey breast for Christmas

Recommended Posts

They don’t take long, a breast at roughly 300° shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours. You’re looking for a 160°-165° internal, pull, and let rest.

As far as brine, the flavor I’ve enjoyed most is bourbon. I do a simple salt and bourbon brine overnight, and then season as you care to.

Good luck! I think you’ll like it.

Bruce, I did a 20 lb turkey last year in a citrus brine, and I thought as well as my guests, that it was real good. I think your speaking of a hotel turkey when you mention turkey breast, meaning the rib cage, white meat only. The flavor imparts a light citrus taste and if your interested a google search of citrus brine turkey will start you off. Then again, they're all good, variety is the spice of life. 165 temp as Robert mentioned were serve you well
