Homemade Sausage Making

I just bought a boneless turkey breast from Walmart. Can some one give me some recipe ideas. I would like to brine cure it and smoke it afterwards.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Bert,

Here's a place to start Bert. I'd imagine you'd want to cut down the brine quantities to at least half for part of a bird as opposed to a whole one. I also guess the recommended smoking temps would work fine as long as you remember when to pull the bird from the smoker when the desired internal temp is reached. RAY

Check out the turkey luncheon meat. I've never made it but been thinking about it for a while. I think it would be really good and kinda fun too. Anyway hope you find something you will enjoy.

Bert,
CW's Smoke and Choke turkey with 7UP recipe is great. Have a look in history what Sawhorse did with his chickens. I have done a trial 7UP chicken the same and will never go back the old way.
As Ray says, WATCH THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE for a moist result.
Good Luck.

They had cherry 7-up on sale around Christmas and I used this in a brine and they turned out very good. Another thing to try is add a little vanilla to the brine. It lends a very familiar, friendly flavor to the bird but no one can place what the flavor is.

I have had mixed results with brining turkey. Mainly because cheaper turkeys that most grocery stores sell are already have a salt solution added and I find that brining and a rub make it too salty. I tend to prefer an injection. I did a smoked turkey breast for the superbowl and just injected it with apple juice. I used a really basic BBQ rib rub and smoked on a mix of hickory and apple wood. It was AMAZING.

just my two cents.

Did you use any sodium nitrite to cure the turkey before smoking? I inject and soak turkey and chicken in CW's 7-up solution, it's got the Instacure #1 that prevents a untimely and ugly death. RAY
