Smoked Turkey Breast
>I recently acquired a home electric smoker. Would anyone have recipes
>for smoking meat or fish ? A couple of years ago, I made four of these for a Christmas party. I couldn't slice them fast enough--they were gone before I got could put away the carving knife! Smoked Turkey Breast (from Fancy Pantry by Helen Witty) 1 turkey breast Brine 1 quart water 1/4 cup non-iodized table salt, or 1/3 cup coarse (kosher) salt 3 Tbsp dark brown sugar 1/8 tsp. white pepper 1/2 medium bay leaf, crumbled Multiply the brine recipe as needed to make enough to completely submerge the turkey breast. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Put the turkey breast in a large Ziploc bag, fill with brine, squeeze out all the air and seal; or put turkey breast in a large bowl, put a small plate on top to hold it under, and fill bowl with brine. Refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours. Remove turkey from brine, rinse, and dry. Rub lightly with cooking oil. Slow-cook in a smoke-cooker or covered barbecue, using the indirect heat method and adding water-soaked smoke chips from time to time. Place a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the breast and cook until it reaches 165 to 170 degrees. If skin looks dry at any point, brush with a little more oil. For best flavor and appearance, cool to room temperature, slice, and serve at once. Turkey can also be wrapped tightly and refrigerated; return to room temperature before serving. -- MaryMc Visit my Cooking Stuff page... <http://www.casagordita.com/cooking.htm> -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated by Patricia Hill at .
