Smoked Turkey Breast
There are several ways that you can cook a turkey. You can wrap it with butter or another juice, you can spritz it during the cooking process, or you can remove it at a temperature before you start to dry it out. When we are cooking Turkey, we are looking for the breast to reach the internal temperature of 165°. This has proven to be the sweet spot.
