I just watched this again! Chris looked soooo young, and its only been 3 years ago! But, as always he does a great job explaining! I smoked a turkey last year, but when I did - I put a can of beer to prop the breast up. That can of beer really made the turkey too moist inside, so I had to cut it and roast it in the oven for a while. This year, I will use Chris's method and hopefully, the turkey will turn out just perfect!
Maybe I’m getting grayer? :) We hope that turkey came out great! We’re planning on doing a video with a whole turkey (we’ve done it before, just not on video) and it came out pretty good, too. Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to you and Tina…hope to see you all again soon! (P.S. Got my hands on a bottle of that Heaven Hill BIB. I’ll let you know what I think!)
@TheMidlifeRide The turkey breast turned out great!!! And so did the pheasant. They cooked up quicker than I thought, so always good to have a thermometer. Hope to see you guys soon as well.
Followed the steps and turned out great!
Nice! It’s definitely one of our faves, especially when it’s time for a little break from pork/beef. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I’m so glad you put the temperature probe in 😉
Great video. The turkey breast looks amazing. I will be smoking one on Thanksgiving Day and can't wait. Keep smoking and Happy Thanksgiving.
That looked delicious, well done guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks! It *almost* got us through the week. :)
That looks great! Thanks for sharing this. I love turkey breasts. Turkey breasts are like the ham of poultry.
Good job, man. Enjoyed this video and got great tips from it. I can forgive the VK hat (flyers fan here). Thank you!
Thanks for watching! We're glad you found this video helpful. And hey, no matter which team you root for, all hockey fans are welcome here :)

Las Vegas and Beyond Thank you! I’m not sure how we got here, but the connections make it all worth it.
MMMMmm I love smoked turkey. I'm gonna get my husband to make me some smoked turkey this summer.. I just informed him
Good luck, enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!
Cathryn’s comment about coating the counter 😂
Las Vegas and Beyond That stuff goes EVERYWHERE.
Very nice cook! Have you ever considered brining? I started brining lean cuts of pork and poultry, overnight, in a simple salt brine. The results are amazing and I encourage you to try: Maybe even do a video(
Brent Meister Thanks! I always brine a whole turkey for Thanksgiving, but I usually go the easier route for weekend/meal prep cooks. I’ll have to look in to it!
The Midlife Ride: Try some boneless/skinless chicken breasts. Brine half and see how you like the difference. I like to brine for 4-6 hrs. I stick with kosher salt wet brine. Some people add sugar and garlic powder, but I prefer salt only. Looking forward to see what you think.
@@brentmeister1072 Thanks! I'll definitely give that a try. What are your measurements on the brine mixture?
The Midlife Ride: 1/4 cup of kosher salt dissolved in 1 quart (4 cups) of warm water. For boneless skinless chicken breasts- I only brine for 1-1.5 hrs. If you go over 2 hrs, the texture can get soft. If skin on/bone in- you can go longer and whole bird can go over night. Make sure you keep everything cold while brining for food safety- but since you brine whole birds, I’m sure you know about that. Brining works great on pork chops and pork tenderloin as well. Basically any white lean meat is enhanced by brining. I do not brine red meats or dark chicken meat such as thighs. I always rinse thoroughly after brining, then season/rub as usual. BTW I’m upgrading to a Trager with the Father’s Day sale- you have inspired me to embrace technology!
I love the VGK hat, not a fan of the steak seasoning. Traeger Fin & Poultry rub is great on Turkey. But to each their own.
Thanks for watching!
Just thawed one too, did you brine yours?
I always brine a whole turkey (especially for Thanksgiving), but this was already brined so I just went with it. I'm not sure how it has been in your area, but it has been challenging around here to find the exact meat you want when you want it, so we just bought it because the store actually had one. Still came out good though!
Enjoyed the video of the pork butt you smoked and have subscribed. I just picked up a traeger pro 34. I noticed you’re using a different thermometer rather than the one built into the smoker itself. Is the one your using more accurate? Asking because I’m new to the pellet game. Thanks
Thanks for stopping by and for subscribing! My Traeger is an older model, so they didn't include a built-in thermometer/meat probes like the newer models now do. I might eventually upgrade the thermostat on my grill, but my reason for using a separate thermometer is because that's the only option I had at the time. I hope you enjoy your new Traeger!

Yes!
This turkey breast was prefect! The meat was moist and tender and the smoke flavor was great - not too much. Great recipe!!!
like the hat
Was going to ask if you brined but saw the below comment. What are your guidelines on brining?
aps76881 I usually only brine whole turkeys, but I keep it pretty simple with 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of kosher salt.
Surprised that took that long. Usually takes 1.5-2 hours
I'm doing exactly what you're doing for Thanksgiving. I wish the camera man had focused more on the Turkey and not your face lol.
Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!
@@TheMidlifeRide it came out freaking amazing.
@@DQSH8999 Glad to hear it!
Did it again for Xmas. It's so damn amazing
@@DQSH8999 Awesome! Merry Christmas!
Too long. Sorry.
