Smoked Turkey and Blackened Blue Fish... Two of the best kept secrets in the known universe 👍. Great video. I'm hungry...

[rneustel]

This looks so amazing I just had to subscribe!!

[gharv]

Amazing results Jason! That bird looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥. So delicious, have a fantastic weekend ahead. Cheers🥃

[jonathanwilson]

These look amazing. And I am definitely going to try this over the holiday.

[SonicBoomC]

I think I might do the final base and wrap the next time I do turkey

[GrillingwithGrove]

so you only season the top or is that the only side you show? Did you just season the top side for memphis in May?

[livenike]

So you only put rub on the top side, and with no binder right?

[Mankitchenrecipes]

Wow! Very awesome recipe for those turkey breasts, Jason! Those looked absolutely delicious!😋😋😋

[EliteBBQSmokers]

What’s your favorite tip for keeping turkey juicy when smoking or grilling?

[bradcampbell]

Very pretty bird. Aldi's has thawed boneless whole turkey breasts on sale right now. Guessing I will pick a couple up.

[markwilson]

Would you suggest using turkey breast with the bone in?

[txpyroguy]

Why are you going to 175* on breast meat when almost all videos I've seen tell you to pull at 155-160* for a 165* target carry over temp? It looks good btw :)

[DangerousOne]

What if you get a prebrined Turkey breast? Like butterball?

[bobrhoads]

175 seems high for finished turkey breast, and at 300 my pellet grill would barely be "smoking", just roasting.

[petemaus]

Where are you buying these large boneless turkey breast ?

[wertyu]

Why do you cook it to 175? Isn't that overcooked?

[JenniferThomas-edfs]

What about cooking it in the oven, I don't have a smoker

[FraldinhoBJJ]

I take mine off at 160.

I just couldn’t smoke them to 175.

[wwjj]

Thought you said you were putting it on a smoker?
