Split Turkey Breast

Try our delicious Shady Brook Farms® split turkey breasts at your next backyard cookout! Serve it up grilled, smoked or baked — either way you’ll bring a healthy, great-tasting meal to the table this summer. Chef’s Tip: Brining the breast for 24 hours in a wet or dry brine will enhance the flavors and juiciness of the turkey.

Grilling & Smoking tips
Grilling: Preheat grill to medium heat (350°F). Place breast on grill, skin-side up and grill with indirect heat for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 165°F (using a meat thermometer).
Smoking: Set smoker to 250°. Rub on your favorite spice blend and place the breast on the smoker skin-side up. About every 30 minutes, baste the turkey with some melted butter or olive oil (with some of the seasoning mixed in), and turn the turkey. Repeat this step until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the breast reaches 165°F (using a meat thermometer). The turkey will take approximately 3 ½ hours to cook.
