Notes
- A binder like mayo is not good for getting crispy skin
- Avocado oil might be a good binder
- For extra crispy skin smoke the turkey breast to 150F and then fry in peanut oil to 165F
- Make sure to add seasoning after frying
- Holy Voodoo is great on turkey
- Texas-style:
- Remove skin
- Season with salt and pepper, or other rub
- Finish in foil with lots of butter
- Brine:
- 15 ounces water
- 3 ounces salt
- A couple sprigs of fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme or parsley
- 15 ounces ice
- Combine everything except for ice in a medium saucepan on high heat, bringing to a boil. Cover and let stand for ten minutes. Use ice to speed up the cooling process. Brine must be cool before putting the turkey in.
