Meat smokers?

Anyone know of a place I can bring my turkey breasts to get smoked?

Thanks.

If you are in no hurry I could get them and smoke them for you on my Big Green Egg. If not I am sure and BBQ joint around could do them for you.

I am in no hurry, just don't know anything about smoking. And I am not super crazy about wild turkey meat. Usually a bit dry. But smoked i like it. Let me know!

I rubbed butter on mine before seasoning it and smoking it on my big green egg.. Apple wood is my preferred wood to smoke turkey.

We always strip the breast and fry like chicken strips. Not good cooked like butterball turkey. Tough.

If you smoke the turkey make sure you Brine it. That will make a huge difference. I have a buttermilk brine that I use on chicken that I am sure would be great on Turkey.

Uummm Turkey .. I assume wild <'TK><

Mike, If you smoke all you are going to do is turn it into tough Jerky ... My suggestion ... is strip it out into fingers and fry it ... That is about the most enjoyable return you will get from a wild Turkey Breast ... <'TK><

I've smoked several turkeys, and they came out delicious, and moist. Frying=Greasy
Baking=Dry
Smoking=Delicious, and moist

After smoking a turkey several years ago we swore to never bake another one. The fried are good, but I'm sure your arteries hate you for it.

Anyone can throw meat on a smoker and say they smoked meat. It's all in the preparation, patience, and care you take.

My favorite thing to do with wild turkey breasts is to cut them in 1/4" strips maybe 1.5" wide and slow/low smoke them for jerky strips. The easiest way to control temp is with an electric cabinet style smoker. Seasoned with High Mountain jerky cure in hickory they come out great.

I use it for Beef Jerky, Turkey jerky, Venison, Rabbit, squirrel. Thier sausage seasoning is good too!
Hmmmm, i might have to go buy a big roast tonight to make into jerky now! LOL

No secret to smoking it, brine the meat over night before smoking.
